https://www.boredpanda.com/thread-of-positive-change-because-of-protests/
2020 has been a scary and exhausting year. However, theres a silver lining. The Black Lives Matter protests demanding justice for Floyd George, racial equality, and an end to police brutality have spread and theyre bringing about real change in American society.
Twitter user Emma collected a list of examples of the change that the protests helped accelerate in the United States in a viral thread that got more than 309k likes and 188k retweets. New laws regulating law enforcement are being introduced and cities are planning to take down statues that some people view as racist.
While other Twitter users pitched in and posted positive changes that the protests helped introduce or made happen faster. Emma urged protestors to keep fighting for change and to not stop just because of a handful of small victories. Scroll down and take a look for yourselves, dear Pandas.
In case your news and social media is clogging your brain with only bad things. There is a lot of good already happening. Keep up the momentum to get more of it.

(23,156 posts)We have to impeach Kavarape, but it should be easy to do that if we retake the Senate and of course the presidency. I would so love to see Kavarape tossed out for lying about his constant sexual harassment against women and Biden would get to appoint his successor and without a filibuster, Dems retake SCOTUS and then it's a run to the races to makes changes that benefit all Americans, not just the rich and white.

And state legislatures and city councils and more. Probably even these community social service positions if we cut funding for police
