There is no excuse for staying silent and uninformed in 2020. Instagram and Twitter are filled with accounts dedicated to keeping you awake and educated, which is now particularly crucial in light of the anti-racism protests sweeping through America and the globe following the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery at the hands of police. Since Floyd’s death, celebrities have taken to social media to share statements of disgust and action — but celeb responses, of course, are not enough on their own. Diversifying your feed to include educational content is easier now than ever. Below you’ll find 10 accounts that dedicate their platform to spreading crucial information, empowering messages, and anti-racist content.
