Be Heard - Black Lives Matter
Today is June 19th, a day of growing importance in the United States. It is recognized here as Juneteenth, or Freedom Day. On this date, in 1865, slaves in Texas celebrated as they were told for the first time that they were free, and slavery was no longer permitted. We at Bungie would like to take this opportunity to celebrate Juneteenth with you, no matter where you are around the world.
During an event earlier this month, we spent 8 minutes and 46 seconds in silence to honor the death of George Floyd, and promised that we would commit more time, energy, and money towards the fight against systemic racism. We invite you to join us in that battle by showing your support and making your voices heard.
Today we’re announcing the Be Heard Collectible Pin & Emblem. All profits from the sales of the Be Heard Collectible Pin & Emblem will benefit the [url=http://eji.org/]Equal Justice Initiative (eji.org)[/url]. Pre-orders will become available on the [url=https://bungiestore.com/?_ga=2.195271913.413763952.1592256037-1256161908.1589479140]Bungie Store[/url] starting on Tuesday, June 23, 2020. The exclusive Destiny 2 "Be Heard" emblem will be emailed to you within 24 hours after your order is placed.

We know that Guardians in Destiny fight for humanity and hope. And while the real challenges that Black people face are not as easily vanquished as the enemies in our game, we look forward to seeing Guardians come together in this fight as well. As we said before, we are committed to standing up for our Black community; including our developers, fans, and neighbors. Together, we intend to replace injustice with equality wherever we see it. So eyes up Guardians, there's work to do.

22 RepliesBefore I get destroyed, I'd like to point out a couple things. Yes, black lives [i]do[/i] matter, but not more than anybody else's. Innocent people are being killed. In fact, somebody in my neighborhood was shot right through the chest in full view of his kids when they were playing Tennis. Killing people isn't helping their cause. Also, it is incredibly hypocritical to say "Hey, we matter!" and then kill somebody in front of their children. Do they really expect killing peolle is gonna get them to listen? What makes [b]your[/b] life matter more than the man you just killed? What they [i]should've[/i] done is gather peacefully outside of a building. It's called a peaceful protest and it gets the job done. But, apparently their lives matter more so... [spoiler]Everybody's life matters. No more, no less. Saying you matter and then killing somebody, acting like they didn't matter is awful. The majority of people think people like me are racist because we're against BLM. I'm not against because of their race, I'm against what they're doing.[/spoiler]
