To the entire Maker community: the time is NOW...

I saw what you did in the early days of the COVID outbreak, how you amazingly flew into action building so many products to address every angle of the problem.

I need that same response to help promote and support anti-racism...
There are so many problems at the core of this issue, and they all need solutions.

Pick a problem that grieves you and let’s start building solutions.

There’s so much change and impact you can make. Watching silently does not help. You’re a Maker, let’s make change...
If you wish the protests could stay peaceful and organized, let’s build something to help with that.

What could help protestors organize better, mobilize, communicate, and stay safe?

I saw a lot of great apps for COVID tracking, we could get creative with protest organization.
If you’re concerned for the small/mom & pop/black-owned businesses being looted and destroyed how can we help them rebuild?

We did a lot to try and save our favorite restaurants. This is a bigger task but sorely needed.
I’ve been encouraged to see some white voices speaking out in support of the protests and against racism here on Twitter.

We need so much more of this, including using your platform to spread awareness and promote change.

Can we build a directory of who’s doing this to share?
The media & Twitter community already have a handle on spreading/sharing/exposing the violence going on, but we also need to see the kind/loving/empathetic acts that are going on out there in response.

A collection of only that might be inspiring/encouraging for a lot of people.
#nocode Twitter I’ve seen you guys lead the charge on launching products that addressed the impacts of a global pandemic FAST, sometimes the same day.

There’s got to be so much more we can do here...
If you’ve seen people already doing this or sharing ideas please share.

I’m just looking to start the conversation and share ideas. 🙏🏾
Imagine an app like Waze but instead of showing you all the cops and stalled cars on your route it shows incidents of racism and discrimination.

Would love for people to see just how prevalent it is in their own cities on a daily basis.
A lot of people reached out after I posted this thread. Most just want to talk, to try and understand what's going on and how they could possibly help.

I'm using Cuppa to help facilitate these discussions, please feel free to book time with me there:
