HOW TO DONATE TO BLM WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY

a black woman named zoe amira posted a video on youtube. this video is an hour long and filled with art and music from black creators. it has a ton of ads, and in result will rack up a ton of revenue. 100% of the ad revenue from the video will be dispersed between various blm organizations, including bail-out funds for protesters. it will be split between the following, dependent on necessity

  1. brooklyn bail fund
  2. minnesota freedom fund
  3. atlanta action network
  4. columbus freedom fund
  5. louisville community bail fund
  6. chicago bond
  7. black visions collective
  8. richmond community bail fund
  9. the bail project inc
  10. nw com bail fund
  11. philadelphia bail fund
  12. the korchhinski-parquet family gofundme
  13. george floyd’s family gofundme
  14. blacklivesmatter.com
  15. reclaim the block
  16. aclu
turn off your adblocker and put the video on repeat. do not skip ads. let it play on loop whether you’re listening or not. mute the tab if you need to focus elsewhere. but let. it. play.
youtube will donate to blm for you.

please, please reblog. for people who don’t have money to spare, this is incredibly important information to have.

YEP! These are meant to be skipped into the ground and then spin into people's legs and dissuade people from advancing or move them away. FIRING THEM AT PEOPLE'S HEADS IS 100% AGAINST THE PROPER USE. AND THEY ARE SHOOTING THESE AT MEDICS. DOCTORS, EMTS, AND NURSES. AT CLOSE RANGE. THESE CAN BREAK YOUR SKULL. THEY ARE NOT A JOKE. THIS IS LESS LETHAL LIKE A BASEBALL BAT IS LESS LETHAL THAN A SWORD. BOTH STILL CAN KILL.

I only found out today they’re meant to be fired at the ground to bounce back at protesters... I don’t think  I’ve ever seen the cops use them that way

[id: A tweet by @FILTERMIN, which reads: "the name 'rubber bullets' is really deceiving. they aren't bullet sized at all they're actually HUGE. please spread this so people going to protests know how seriously dangerous they are. #Black_Lives_Matters"

An embedded picture, which OP has helpfully added a full version of in the second image, displays some rubber bullets, which are black objects longer than the width of the hand holding them, and two finger-widths wide. end id.]

YALL THE AMISH CAME OUT ❤️❤️❤️

I was corrected on Twitter by someone from the community — they’re actually Old Order Mennonites! Although they follow that ‘plain living’ doctrine that the Amish do, they also carefully allow technology into their communities. Televisions are one of the few pieces of modern tech that’s allowed in certain Mennonite sects. The Mennonites and Quakers are no nonsense when it comes to oppression of any kind. Google more about them and you’ll quickly find out that it’s no surprise they showed up. They always show up.

after hurricane sandy, mennonites came through Far Rockaway, NY and rebuilt houses and Black churches that were devastated for free, the ones i’ve met have always been down to do real work for the cause

He said he wanted to help the police and brought weapons.

This man was walking around with a knife and then pulled out a bow and arrow, aiming it at people.

He said he got jumped by two black men but it was 12 white kids that beat his ass.

Then his car was overturned and set on fire

It gets better. He's gonna get charged with brandishing/assault with a deadly weapon.

Considering Omar Jimenez was arrested when literally politely asking cops what he should do, the idea that peaceful protesting would fix anything is ridiculous. The cops blatantly lied about his reason for arrest too. The whole fucking thing was caught on camera and they still claimed he had to be arrested because he “wouldn’t move”, which makes no sense in the first place but is even worse considering he was asking where he should move and didn’t get an answer.

That reporting team and others have been kettled live on camera multiple times now. Kettling is when cops form walls in front of and behind protesters, tell them to "move back" when they have nowhere to move back to, and then attack them for "resisting orders" when the orders were impossible to comply with. The sticky situation that you can see is that the capitalist guard dogs know they're on camera, and they glance stupidly at each other in silence because they don't know how to make those lies look real on camera, but they roll with them anyway because enough people are still complacent enough to trust what they're told before trusting what is actually in front of them. It's easier to see when there is aerial footage, which has been caught a couple times by citizen's who have remote drones w cameras over diff locations, because cameras on the ground can understandably only get one eye-level angle at a time. Remember, if they're telling these lies when you can SEE what they're doing, you have to assume that the reality is much worse when the cameras aren't there.

Reminder that Stonewall wasn’t about marriage equality. Stonewall was about police brutality. It was about systemic abuse and subordination. Stonewall was spearheaded by black trans women. As we celebrate Pride 2020, within the context of the Black Lives Matter riots, it’s imperative that we remember that.

Riots in protest of police brutality are the reason that we have more rights today. Do not forget your roots.

You can’t celebrate Pride while simultaneously condemning the Black Lives Matter riots and protests that are happening right now. Know your history.

Cops murdered a black girl in Toronto this week too but Canadians are too up their own asses about how we’re “Not the racist ones! That’s only America! We’re the nice ones :)” to acknowledge it or do anything about it

Cops in Canada are just as racist and evil please Canada wake the fuck up

Her name was Regis Korchinski-Paquet, she was a 29 year old Black Native woman. She was pushed off of her own balcony by the Toronto police and fell to her death. They are reporting it as a suicide.

Say her name. Do not let them cover this up.

Shout out to LGBTQA+ witches. Just because some things about witchcraft are incredibly biased does not mean that they are the only way to practice.

Shout out to witches of color. Just because witchy pictures tend to use strictly pale white or white passing folks doesn’t mean that we don’t love you as much.

Shout out to Christian, Jewish, and Muslim witches. You guys can get quite a bit of hate in the witchcraft community, and a couple of those religions outside it, too. You guys are wonderful people, and amazing witches.

Shout out to disabled witches that have to modify rituals and spells to work for them.

Shout out to plus sized witches. You’re v attractive and spectacular witches.

Shout out to male witches, especially trans male witches. You’re rocking it, even if some people are assholes about it. Anyone can be a witch, after all.

Just because you don’t fit the witchcraft norm here on Tumblr doesn’t make you any less of a witch. You’re a damn good one, too.
