(8) GENERAL TIPS
-continue to donate, sign petitions, make phone calls/emails, spread awareness
-take a break if necessary
-stay safe
-sit with the discomfort, act on what you learn from it
-listen to the black community

i’ll continue this thread as needed and if links become irrelevant i’ll reply directly to the tweet, tho i’m mainly creating this for myself since i can't be there

i grieve for the black community and fight with them even if i can’t be there in person #BlackLivesMatter

i manage chronic pain & live w/ 2 elderly parents, one of whom is immunocompromised, so i can’t risk going outside unless absolutely necessary. but that is no excuse for me to stand by & watch this happen #Asians4BlackLives
