Hey community,
*tldr*: Like/love/reshare a new campaign around #ReparationsMonday on Twitter https://twitter.com/blueheartaction?lang=en, Instagram https://www.instagram.com/blueheartact/?hl=en, and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueHeartAction/.
I'm excited to share with you all a new campaign Blue Heart http://www.blueheartaction.org is launching called #ReparationsMonday. I believe that only through healing and repairing past harms can we have the collective power to transform our global crises. *Giving Tuesday* is a national day of giving that moves a ton of money (yay!), yet also supports an already unequal system where the NGOs with the largest PR budgets - and often the whitest staff - receive the bulk of donations (boo!). We want to chart a different path.
Recognizing that reparations is not a destination, but rather a journey of inquiry and action, this social media campaign invites critical reflection. We are sharing reflection questions, beautiful stories from organizations on this path, and a call to share commitments. And we have a truly kickass set of orgs throwing down**
What can you do to??
