Hey I was wondering if any of you guys could share this gofundme or donate to it. My friend’s older sister suffered from both a cerebral brain hemorrhage and a stroke and we are trying to raise money to cover some of the medical expenses

 To those of you who think that protesting and rioting is not necessary you are wrong. Police brutality is a real and evident issue, officers have been beating and murdering innocent Black people for years and are not being punished or taking responsibility for their actions. We need to do something and peaceful protests are an important way to help it get there. However, look at the history books, riots, although extremely unlawful, do help initiate change.  Sixty years ago Martin Luther King peacefully protested and look where thatgot him, assassinated. In recent times Colin Kaepernick peacefully protested by kneeling during the national anthem to recognize the racism that Black people face everyday and look what happened to him. He used his platform for the greater good and was ultimately bullied out of his occupation and no change followed, only criticism of his patriotism. We have tried peaceful protesting only to be met with tear gas, rubber bullets, beatings, and Martial Law. Remember that protests and rioting is what paved the way for women’s suffrage, the end of slavery, and LGBTQ rights.  For example, the Stonewall riots are the reason we even have LGBTQ rights in the first place. Remember that if you just sit there and do nothing you are also at fault. The Black Lives Matter movement needs to happen and do not say it doesn’t if you say that is your white privilege speaking. Remember there is something you can do to help. If you do not wanna be or cannot be involved in protests there are other things you can do to help support the BlackLives matter movement by educating yourself, recognizing your privilege, using your voice to help  bring awareness to the issue and advocate for those who can not do so themselves, signing petitions, and donating.

I also wanted to share my instagram post for him: Rest in peace Kyle. Today has been a sad day for everyone and we can all agree that this world has lost one of its angels, Kyle Pascoe.  Today this world lost a kindhearted, funny, smart, and loving kid who had a lot to contribute and who made a difference. Whether or not you knew him as a son, brother, friend, teammate, classmate, bestfriend, student, or known him as a kind stranger that you pass in the halls from time to time, or a kid in one of your classes that likes chocolate milk you are all going through a hard time some harder than others. I can’t even begin to imagine how his family is feeling but my thoughts and prayers go out to them. Now that he’s gone life’s going to be different, it’s going to be harder. It’s going to feel like rocks are tumbling down on you and there’s nothing you can do to stop it, but that’s not true. We can all do something and that’s by being there for each other and his family and by honoring him in our own way. Whether it be by keeping his seat in your class empty for the rest of the year and covering it in notes and goodies for him or by doing the best you can or by dedicating a yearbook page to him it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that we help each other. And most importantly that pick ourselves up off the ground which will take some time and doesn’t have to be now or anytime soon. We will all get through this though one step at a time and if anyone needs anything just tell me and I’ll be there for you. Also for anyone who wants to help his family you can donate money to them on kyle’s go fund account.  Today our world has lost an angel and he will forever be in our thoughts and dreams. Rest in peace kyle.  UPDATE: Today his account has raised over $22,000  and the at the boyscotts court of honor they had a moment of Silence for Kyle and said some prayers for him and his family. Also remember to wear blue and the #10 for Kyle on Friday
