Do you: a) stay home and run the risk people think you aren’t woke, but maybe get covid, Or b) go protest during a global pandemic and possibly contribute to widespread growth in case rates, but at least you aren’t a racist?

“Allies” need a way to center themselves in these situations. They, of course, could continue to social distance and instead donate money to one of the more organised initiatives working to make change in the US. But receipts don’t really look as good on the gram. And like... putting money where your mouth is can be expensive.
Not to completely discredit allies though. Many do vote with their hearts, which is a very important thing, I’m just very jaded.
