#BlackLivesMatter takeover

As you'll all presumably be aware, a huge amount of discussions are rightfully being had right now about race inequlity and the Black Lives Matter movement. We're keen to dedicate some space for those discussions and really shine a spotlight on this issue, in the most useful way we can. We're running some workshops behind the scenes to see what young people want in regard to a new space, and how they want to share their stories.
While we work on that more tailored solution, we've decided to temporarily repurpose this forum (Change The World) to host any discussions to do with race inequality or the Black Lives Matter movement.
You can use this space to share your stories and experiences, your feelings about the issue, and ask difficult questions or anything you might feel nervous about asking elsewhere. This is a safe space. 
Shoutout to @Simran121's awesome #BLM history and terminology rundown, @Salix_alba_2019's thread for asking questions around George Floyd's murder, and @Eleanor's post on how to support #BLM.
All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
The truth resists simplicity.
