People have taken various creative approaches to protesting police brutality, ranging from hosting “die-ins” and wearing red for a " Day Without Immigrants," to painting art installations addressing systemic racism, to flooding police social media accounts with fake reports. The #blackouttuesday hashtag went viral as people took an act of silence during a time usually devoted to promoting acts of solidarity through social media engagement. Another initiative is Reclaim the Block, which helps community members organize actions and policy demands in response to specific incidents of police violence. These types of efforts have highlighted systemic racial inequalities present in our policing systems and have encouraged communities, individuals and organizations around the world come together in support for Black Lives Matter activists looking for meaningful reform that holds officers accountable while protecting civil rights.
