Sing it with me! IBARW!
Jul. 19th, 2006 03:19 pmSome of you might have made your Awareness check and noticed that my default icon changed yesterday. This is because it's International Blog Against Racism Week, and I've joined the movement. If you too want to stand up against icky thinking, here's the scoop:
Welcome to International Blog Against Racism Week!
If you would like to participate, here's what to do:
1. Announce the week in your blog.
2. Switch your default icon to either an official IBAR icon, or one which you feel is appropriate. To get an official IBAR icon, you may modify one of yours yourself or ask someone to do so.
3. Post about race and/or racism: in media, in life, in the news, personal experiences, writing characters of a race that isn't yours, portrayals of race in fiction, review a book on the subject, etc.
If you need an icon,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ocyeter has made some nifty ones, including the one I'm currently sporting. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
rilina has the International Blog Against Racism Week Link Roundup.
I do plan on actually writing something about this, but I'm going to wait until it's not over 100 degrees in my apartment. Some things require non-melted brains.
