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.

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.

5 RepliesSaying that Black Lives Matter isn’t a political term for those too ignorant to understand. It is a reminder and a call to action for POC to be treated equally. How often do you hear about police brutality or innocent YT men/women/children being shot or beaten to death??? When you see police or get pulled over how does it make you feel? I’m not a survivor of police brutality. I was racially profiled, dragged cuffed to a hospital bed and locked in the lower level of the hospital until the officers felt like transporting me to booking. I was denied water, food and even a bathroom break. They treated me worse than an animal, I have no priors and I’m training to be a firefighter. They didn’t even mirandize and the charges were dropped for lack of evidence. You say “slavery was over 400 years ago so why don’t you get over it” well guess what!? My grandmothers and grandfathers are only 70+ years old and picked cotton still for little pay or no pay at all. Current generations are still trying to recover from an uneven playing field while YT people have all had a head start yet still all we ask for is equality but these people take it as violence. Being black is a crime in today’s world and that needs to change. All life is precious unless you’re black and brown. The truth and answers to all this strife is so simple but it’s like You people enjoy playing the victim even though you’ve victimized so many different races ethnicities and countries for generations.
