BLACK LIVES MATTER.
WHITE SILENCE IS WHITE VIOLENCE.

If, like a lot of us, you are unable to attend the LDNBLM because you& #39;re high-risk (and there& #39;s still a pandemic going on), here& #39;s a list of ways to help instead:
Donate to Memorial Family Fund, which supports families and campaigns affected by custody deaths in the UK: https://www.memorialfamilyfund.org.uk/ 

Donate">https://www.memorialfamilyfund.org.uk/">... to the Brooklyn Bail Fund to assist protesters in Brooklyn:

(The other Organizations are more in need right now as there has been such big contributions here already!) Regularly updated list of bail funds to support as protests spread:

Donated">https://docs.google.com/spreadshe... to: @BisofColour which supports bi+ of colour in the UK
We& #39;re also aware of a letter in the US of 75 "LGbT" organisations standing in solidarity against rascism. You& #39;ll notice that there& #39;s only one bi+ org in the signatories. That& #39;s because the organisers didn& #39;t both to reach out to any other bi+ orgs.
This despite the fact that the pattern of bi people outnumbering gay people is even more pronounced with the black community. Black women are far more likely to be bi than lesbian. With that in mind, bi women & black women both face disproportionate rates of sexual violence[cont]
with black bi women facing extremely high rates. If you are not including bi voices/groups, you are not representing/catering to a very large proportion of black queer folks.
