Simply RT& #39;ing someone else& #39;s consolidation of resources or expressing THEIR outrage is not enough. It& #39;s passive.

What are YOU doing to incite positive change? How are YOU challenging white supremacy? How are YOU using your platform to be an ACTIVELY engaged ally to black people? How are YOU shutting down injustices against black people, on any scale, in personal and professional settings?
Do you feel personally attacked by this thread?
