FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I link this on my Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Website, etc?
Yes, you absolutely can!
Who are you?
My name is Nico and I am 19 years old!
Can I make a carrd inspired by this one?
I did not come up with the idea of compiling resources on BLM at all but please be respectful with how you discuss it. These are important issues and the discussion of black lives being lost.
Can I pay you for the work you’re doing?
Thank you for the offer but kindly no! I am financially stable and there are much better places your money can go, such as to anything on the donate page!
Is this carrd updated?
I've been updating it for the past year as often as I can! However, running this carrd can be very mentally taxing considering the subject matter so I do often take long breaks for personal mental health. Please refer to the date on the bottom of the first page to see when the last update was and consider many other compilation sources meanwhile!
One last PSA:
Carrd's and infographics are the absolute tip of the iceberg when it comes to activism. This carrd can be very useful in aiding education or act as a starting point for you but please understand there is so much more to being an, "ally." Speaking up against racism in your real life, furthering your education on the subject and boosting black people and their voices are a few of the many important actions that further this movement. As times change and this movement furthers this carrd will not he relevant to every situation concerning black lives nor is any other carrd in a case by case basis. Do the work yourself as well to continue supporting black lives.

For Protesters
DO NOT share pictures or videos including protester’s faces or identifying features, the police WILL find and charge them.
