Dont Know What to Say?
- Heres a script for George Floyds Case:
- Hello, my name is [insert name], and I live in [insert city, town or neighborhood]. I am calling to demand justice for George Floyd -- a man killed mercilessly by the Minneapolis Police. The investigation into his killing should be independent, fair and conducted by the Attorney General’s office.
I’m calling on you to transfer the prosecution of the police who killed George Floyd to the Minnesota Attorney General and to appoint a Special Assistant Attorney General to lead the prosecution. The Hennepin County Attorney’s office works every day with Minneapolis Police and has failed to bring charges in past police killings. I don’t trust the county attorney to fairly prosecute this case. Your appointment of a special prosecutor will send a clear message to the community that you value justice for George Floyd.
Thank you.
- Three websites that will walk you through what to say
Upcoming Protests
Stop the Police
- Defund the Police. Heres why:







-
Go to https://defund12.org/ to find pre-written emails specific to your state!
- Action to take after you’ve sent emails to your city and state officials:
(hopefully more council meetings will be added as state officials take their time answering their undoubtedly clogged emails)

Re: DollsKill is unfollowing all celebrity and brand ambassadors who post about #BLM
Mental Health Resources
Former Daily Pinned Messages
- (June 2nd, 2020) Our thoughts on #blackouttuesday: While we understand the good intent of those desperate to push the voices of the Black community to the forefront, that is unfortunately not how Instagram works. Instagram WILL NOT push your post to the bottom of the feed just because you posted a black square. Instagrams feed IS NOT chronological, which means we will be seeing black squares for days rather than important and valuable information that needs to be spread. If anything, this will only bury the voices of the very people we are trying to uplift.
Social media is our strongest weapon against injustice. Lets continue to use it to center the conversation around the Black Lives Matter Movement as opposed to letting a corporate initiative created to stop the sharing of vital information take over our feeds.
Thank you.
- Today George Floyds MURDERER was charged with 2nd degree murder. The three officers who were also at the scene of the crime have also be charged with aiding and abetting 2nd degree murder. Our voices have been heard. This movement is unstoppable. What we have been able to do thus far is empowering.
However, this news does not absolve us of the work that we SHOULD HAVE been doing for a LONG TIME to actively dismantle racism in all its forms and the white supremacy that is rampant in this country. Do not stop here. Lets get justice for everyone else we have lost such as Breonna Taylor, Amaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and many many others.
