the most important thing you can do is be an activist outside of twitter. educate your friends. educate your family. DO NOT BE SILENT WHEN THEY ARE BEING RACIST.
acknowledge your privilege. it is the first step.
even if you are not white or white passing — help your friends who are learn about their privileges. and even as non black POC, we have privilege as well.
be an ally. a REAL ally. use any/every bit of privilege you have to help and benefit black people during these times.

if you are over 18 and able to vote, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE VOTE. not only for president. we can vote for district attorneys, mayors, senators, representatives and so on.
do not post or repost any pictures with protestors face. you are putting them in a possibly dangerous situation. please protect their identities. https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-ferguson-activist-deaths-black-lives-matter-20190317-story.html
