We’re Dreaming of a #Blackxmas

To #BuildBlack is the first tenet of #BlackXmas. Let’s refuse the attempts of white-supremacist capitalism to whip us into a consumerist frenzy. Instead, let’s use our economic power to build towards Black liberation by investing in Black-led, Black-serving organizations.
