What you can do to help the BLM movement besides donating, protesting etc. !!if you are unable to!!!:
Read: Read as many books from black authors. Quarantine is leaving us bookworms with more than enough time to go through some books. This is the perfect time read books from diverse authors. This doesn’t mean only autobiographies/biographies but also fantasy books as well! And it doesn’t mean only black authors but this a start and you might find yourself falling in love with books again!
I suggest borrowing books from library apps since with COVID-19 still out and about its better to be safe and not go to your local libraries. Also the hate you give is a fantastic YA novel to begin with! Here’s a link to a post with YA books from some black authors:
Today, and always, we want to celebrate Black voices by amplifying the stories they tell. Here is a list of books by Black creators you can
Watch videos that help donate money: If you simply type up donate to the BLM for free on YouTube you should be able to find a variety of videos. These usually go for an hour long. Play these videos while doing your homework or cleaning your house. Us K-Pop stans have put some advice in the comments so please read them!
Educate your friends and family: Please, do this. It shouldn’t be asked to be done. Educate those and stop stereotypes and other hateful speech from spreading. It’s small but matters in the long run. It is never to late to correct your own mistakes as well.
Stop posing black squares on social media: Many are saying that this only drowns out the many voices that need to be heard. Awareness is important but what is even more important is getting information out there. So please avoid doing this.
Use your privilege: I have very little followers BUT followers nonetheless and that in itself shows that I can do something about it. Reblogging resources, sharing links etc. is important even if you yourself are unable to do them. If you have bigger following use your voice to share the message!
Sign petitions: This should be clear enough.
