BLM and Me

I made this as one crowdsourced list of things people can do to take action ASAP.

If you want to contribute, please don't hesitate to make a pull request! That's what this site is for!

To make a contribution:

  1. Go to the _links directory
  2. There, you'll see categories for links. Every type of link must have these attributes: type, message, representation, impact.
  3. Create a markdown file with the appropriate tags and save them in the appropriate subdirectory. Create a pull request to do this

Here are some templates with the correct tags to use:

Petition/Donation:

  • type: "petition" if petition else "donation"
  • title: "Sign the petition at JusticeForBigFloyd.com" (the headline/message you want to convey)
  • link: "JusticeForBigFloyd.com" (The website you want to link to)
  • representation: "Color of Change" (Who are you? This helps people identify movements and causes they most identify with)
  • impact: "Signing the petition will email Mayor Jacob Frey and DA Michael Freeman demanding that all four officers be arrested and charged for murder, on your behalf. It’s a super petition that emails all offices and individuals involved in the fight for justice." (This helps people get a better idea of what they're signing up for when they visit your link)

Email:

  • type: "mailto"
  • addresses: "email1@email.com,email2@email.com,email3@gmail.com" (MAKE SURE TO SEPARATE BY COMMAS)
  • subject: "This is what I want the email subject to be"
  • body: "Hello, this is an email."
  • title: "Use this template to email Minnesota officials to hold them accountable" (this will be shown on the site to tell people as a headline what your link will do)
  • representation: "Supporter" (Who is representing this? This helps people identify movements and causes they most identify with)
  • impact: "This is the impact of sending this email" (This helps people get a better idea of what they're signing up for when they visit your link)

Text Message:

  • type: "sms"
  • number: "55156"
  • body: "FLOYD"
  • title: "Text FLOYD to 551-56"
  • representation: "Color of Change" (Who are you? This helps people identify movements and causes they most identify with)
  • impact: "This will link you to Color of Change’s petition, which will send a letter to Mayor Jacob Frey and District Attorney Michael Freeman demanding the arrest and murder charge of the four officers." (This helps people get a better idea of what they're signing up for when they visit your link)
