āšæBLACK LIVES MATTER RALLYāšæ || āšæSunday 7th June 2020āšæ
I seldom have words to really describe how I am feeling right now. I know the same goes for many of us. Distress. Sadness. Anger. Hurt. These are just a few of the many feelings that we are currently experiencing. Most of all. We are TIRED. We are tired of Black lives being taken brutally by police. We are tired of justice never being served. We are tired of the news saying they ādiedā when they wereĀ murdered. TIRED. The murder of George Floyd, one of the more recent victims of police brutality, has sparked protests internationally. The world is waking up; weāve had enough and are demanding justice.
The Sims, whilst it is a way to escape, is also used to portray life as we know it.This is why I want to organise a Black Lives Matter Rally.Ā
Itās crazy to me, that 4 years ago the sims community got together and did a rally hosted by @simfluxā and @circasimā. Whatās even more crazy is we are back at the point where another one has to be organised. Thank you for the inspiration and courage to revive your last rally, to bring awareness to the injustices faced by Black men, women and children.Ā
āš½āš¾āšæ How To Attend The Rally āšæāš¾āš½
This Sunday (7th June), using the #BLMSimsRally #Ebonix #Ebonixsims hashtags, Iād love you all to share photos across your social medias of your sims and RP characters participating in the rally. I want to create a huge post of participants once the rally is completed. There is no backdrop, but using my old Rally Pack, your sims can rally on the streets of any town in your game (I would recommend San Myshuno!)
Be creative with it! Thereās no right or wrong way to do this. You are just using your own outlet to show support for the movement!Ā Please feel free to use your own backgrounds, png people and everything else if you wish to. This is your portrayal of your rally and I want to share it with the world.
I made a Rally Pack back in 2016, which is still being used today, so feel free to use it, recolour it, do whatever you want. It definitely needs an update.
Download BLM Rally Pack HereĀ
Iāve also created some more recent t-shirts and sweaters for this rally, which I hope you all like. If you make CC, donāt hesitate to make your own!
@elliesimpleā - 80s Ombre Shirt
@ooobsoooā - Sweatshirt 3
@jordutchā - Brands Sweater
@youn-zoey - T Shirt (included)
I will be reblogging any creations by creators whoās made content related to BLM also.
If you play TS3 and want to join in, Iād love to see your rally posts too! You canĀ download merch by @simfluxā HERE
If you play TS2, I donāt know if there are any pieces yet to be made, so if you are a creator and would like to help TS2 community to participate, Iād greatly appreciate your support with this!
