I need a Black Lives Matter shirt. Yet Etsy is proving difficult, because I want to buy one from a Black-owned shop, and so far I& #39;m not having any luck. Drop links here if you have some suggestions, please
I& #39;d also love a yard sign, as my old one finally bit the dust
I found one I liked, but keep adding links! This can be a resource for anyone else who wants to find one. FYI, no, a shirt doesn& #39;t count as activism, I know that. It& #39;s in addition to, not instead of, other actions. But visibility is important for any movement...
And white silence is white consent. I don& #39;t want to be silent, ever.

Also, as silly/corny as it sounds? I went out and bought a bunch of bumper stickers in a rage after Trump won. I felt a little foolish after. But then...
One guy, a Black immigrant, walked up to my car in a parking lot while I was eating lunch and thanked me for having them, said seeing stuff like that gives him hope. I didn& #39;t talk about it here because honestly, it sounds fake.
But it happened. And isn& #39;t even the only comment I& #39;ve gotten. So...yes, it& #39;s tiny, but if I can make anyone feel safer or make any other white person uncomfortable, great. Plus I get a cool shirt and support a small, Black-owned business.
