When BTS_twt donated $1 million to BlackLivesMatter, ARMY matched it– in a single day
By Sunday evening, OIAA had exceeded their goal, thanks to contributions from over 35,000 donors. They shared the news via Twitter:"Just like BTS, we were able to donate 1M dollars to help fund: bailouts for those arrested for protesting police brutality, black-led advocacy orgs fighting against systemic injustice, support for the physical and mental health of the black community.
But combatting racism is ongoing work, so the Black Lives Matter will remain on OIAA's website permanently. As of this publishing, the fundraiser had reached $1,216,909 from 39,036 donors. Thatalso includes the full list of organizations with information about each, while encouraging fans to"continue educating themselves on the history of anti-black racism in the United States as well as anti-black racism that occurs in your own country.
"Black Lives Matter isn’t something that has a time limit. It’s a belief everyone needs to carry in their everyday lives," the OIAA spokesperson added."We stand in solidarity with black ARMY. They’re an important part of our family. And we stand with black people everywhere. Your voices deserve to be heard.”
