Today, in protest of police brutality and injustice, people are called to black out their social media, filling Twitter, Instagram and Facebook with black squares, giving time to dedicate to the Black Lives Matter movement.
People are asked not to use the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter, so that the messaging that they are putting out won’t also be blacked out.
According to the organizers they want this to be, “a day to disconnect from work and reconnect with our community” through “an urgent step of action to provoke accountability and change.”
