How shameful will it be when we look back on the history of this country and see that it took THE WORLD mobilizing for us to realize Black Lives Matter. Follow accounts tagged here for various aspects of this situation that demand our attention and action. Some of them are @hopedisguised for urgent perspective on Black trans lives and issues @angelicaross an incredible actress and activist setting the tone for inclusion in the mainstream @the_yvesdropper a voice for people throughout the community who have none, but especially black trans women. @tamikadmallory a powerful voice that we need to hear right now @nicolewalters if you need a safe space to begin the discussion and addressing your own racism @emergency_release_fund a fund set up to post bail for trans people imprisoned on Rikers Island. Most haven’t been charged with a crime. At the very least follow these accounts, and if you can donate to the organizations on a one time or recurring basis please do. Image by @pastelae
