THE PANDEMIC IS NOT OVER
As the Black Lives Matter Movement is bringing light to the deeply rooted racial injustices and institutions in America, many protesters have taken to the streets to advocate for this cause in solidarity. Amidst the numerous breaths that have been unjustly taken away, we now stand together in one breath for change. The breaths of numerous people of color such as Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Philando Castile... the list grows on with every moment that we live and every breath that we take. To help stop this pandemic of racial oppression, we must be vocal in our beliefs and our goals and protest about the changes. This pandemic that has inhabited so many of us cannot keep standing after all the efforts that have been made to destroy racism. However, as we take to the streets to fight for the rights of those impacted throughout the world, it needs to be acknowledged that the COVID-19 pandemic has still not ended. These two pandemics, one viral and one social, must be taken care of with neither one stopping the momentum of the efforts. With over 122,000 deaths in United States and 467,000 deaths worldwide, we need to be careful during this time and make sure that we can keep others and ourselves safe. |
HOW WE HELP
Founded by high school students amidst worldwide Black Lives Matter protests, A Breath For Change was established to protect protesters fighting for equality for all. Compared to other organizations, we aim to help the Black Lives Matter protest in every way possible. The COVID-19 pandemic requires us to wear face masks to remain safe in our protests, so A Breath for Change is dedicated to creating masks that promote a social cause with slogans such as "BLM" and "I can't breathe," allowing people to protest while wearing their masks. By wearing a face covering, we can help reduce the risk of contracting the virus drastically as COVID-19 primarily transmits through viral droplets that we exhale through our mouth which then makes contact with other people. However, with sufficient protection and coverings over our mouths, we can help minimize the probability of transmitting COVID-19 through human interactions.Aside from donating a mask or bandanna for each product purchased, we plan to dedicate all of our profits to Black Lives Matter (BLM) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). |
