good morning.

here are my personal thoughts on https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👁️" title="Auge" aria-label="Emoji: Auge">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👄" title="Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Mund">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👁️" title="Auge" aria-label="Emoji: Auge">, and where we go from here.

but first, I& #39;d like to recommend five excellent causes. three are local to the Bay Area, and the other two are in Detroit

if you haven& #39;t opened your wallet yet, here& #39;s your chance
TGI Justice Project - A group of transgender, gender variant and intersex people
—inside and outside of prisons, jails and detention centers--
​creating a united family in the struggle for survival and freedom. http://www.tgijp.org/ ">https://www.tgijp.org/">...
People& #39;s Breakfast Oakland - a grassroots Black socialist political organization which serves the houseless community essential resources. https://www.instagram.com/peoplesbreakfastoakland/">https://www.instagram.com/peoplesbr...
East Oakland Collective - ​The East Oakland Collective (EOC) is a member-based community organizing group invested in serving the communities of deep East Oakland by working towards racial and economic equity. https://www.eastoaklandcollective.com/ ">https://www.eastoaklandcollective.com/">...
Detroit Justice Center - The Detroit Justice Center (DJC) is a non-profit law firm working alongside communities to create economic opportunities, transform the justice system, and promote equitable and just cities. https://www.detroitjustice.org/ ">https://www.detroitjustice.org/">...
Now that we have that out of the way...

I promised you some thought leadership. Let me tell you about the other project I helped with last night

we raised $2,071.10 for the above causes. Certainly not https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👁️" title="Auge" aria-label="Emoji: Auge">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👄" title="Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Mund">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👁️" title="Auge" aria-label="Emoji: Auge"> numbers but...nothing to scoff at either
every month since shelter in place, my friends and I have been hosting a concert series in the children& #39;s game Club Penguin. The goal? To get our friends to enjoy themselves in this crazy world

Last night, we did a special concert + donation drive specifically for the movement
we are five artists, engineers, designers, and musicians. We& #39;re all quite privileged in our own right, but amongst a crowd of young professionals I& #39;d say we& #39;re pretty...average https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau">

which is to say you can be doing what we& #39;re doing too
change looks like sixty people somehow collectively finessing the tech world

and it also looks like five people bringing their communities together for a cause

unlike https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👁️" title="Auge" aria-label="Emoji: Auge">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👄" title="Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Mund">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👁️" title="Auge" aria-label="Emoji: Auge"> we kept it really small, maybe 100 attendees max. And we were still able to make an impact
a loooooot of people are going to tweet about virality blah blah blah blah blah. I have some thoughts too.

but to me, the most important takeaway is that we can all use our powers for good. Please take some time to reflect on what you& #39;ve done to dismantle systematic oppression
Start small, move fast, and be mindful. Take care of your loved ones, and together, take care of the world around you. This movement is a collection of actions, big and small.

I helped pull this off with a broken arm. Do more.
Anyways....I& #39;m looking for folks to match. $2,071.10 total and $414.22 per org. DMs open

Finally, I& #39;d like to invite the blue checks who followed me for "app updates" to comb through their networks. If you were fooled for even a second—this is a chance to redirect that energy
