[Lekooks] BLM Learn & Take Action Oct. 2020 #1

[Ginger G]

LEARN – People who “don’t believe in” the Black Lives Matter movement say that if Black people didn’t resist they wouldn’t be shot. READ <https://medium.com/@mambobean/what-you-mean-when-you-say-he-should-have-obeyed-the-police-824574f72d67> this account/comparison and you will have some talking points.
TAKE ACTION – It’s hard to put up a Black Lives Matter sign. In my neighborhood, there are political signs and flags at many houses – by far outnumbering the signs that support my candidate. It takes bravery and conviction in our area to put up a Black Lives Matter sign. Write a personal THANK YOU note or postcard to anyone in your area with a Black Lives Matter sign. (You can address it to “My Neighbor” with a smiley face and their address.) Better yet, put up a sign yourself! 

For extra credit: Take it a step further and write thank you notes to those with signs out for your political party. I met my neighbor, 3 doors down, this way. It turns out we grew up 3 doors away from each other in Wauwatosa!
