Today and Everyday, Black Lives Matter.
As America is taking a stand to fight against oppression, our nation is coming together now more than ever.
As America is taking a stand to fight against oppression, our nation is coming together now more than ever. People of all ethnicities are recognizing their differences with one another and supporting the black community as we try to make history. The BLM Protests, Black Lives Matter, are impacting not only America, but other nations. We continue to see cultures from around the world speaking up and peacefully protesting to stand in solidarity with the black community.
Celebrities, businesses, influencers, and various industries are using their public platform to speak on this unlawful oppression. The fashion industry in particular is using their voice via social media and making substantial donations to multiple funds. Warby Parker and Etsy are donating $1 million each in response to this movement. Spanx, Aritzia, Gap Inc. Family, Lululemon, and Pretty Little Thing are also providing significant financial support during this tumultuous time.
The beauty industry is also making their mark as many companies have decided to partake in the movement. Glossier, Savage X Fenty, Billie, Anastasia Beverly Hills, and E.L.F are just some of the companies who have responded and donated.
If you’re in a position to donate please try to support these companies and/or black owned businesses. The more we find solidarity in the most troubling of times, the greater our future can be.
While the COVID-19 pandemic had allowed individuals to grow a part, or even become enemies, the BLM protests are quickly rekindling our love for humanity. Speak up. Do your part. Peacefully protest. Know that we can and will make history. And, most importantly, recognize that Black Lives Matter.
