DONATE TO KEEP THE MOVEMENT GOING
Taron Deeson's Album: Wall Photos
#NatashaMarin, a #Seattle-based artist, felt demoralized after several high-profile police killings of unarmed Black men and the vitriol of this year’s presidential campaign. On a whim, she decided to start a #socialexperiment using a Facebook events page. The concept she came up with was to ask her white friends to offer whatever help or money that they could. She then asked her Black friends to list the things they would need to “feel better, be happier, be more productive.” What emerged to her surprise was lots of people wanting to reach out and help their neighbor. Due to the overwhelming response on the FB events page, Ms. Marin realized she had to instantly create a website in order to facilitate people’s desire to lend a helping hand – #reparationsme. The #website and the #artist’s #vision isn’t about atoning for slavery but to simply offer “reparations for things that happened earlier today, for yesterday, for last Thursday,” she said. “This is for the present tense.” Her goal is for people to offer reparations in the true sense of the word, which means repair. #luvmor #love #melanin
