Black Lives Matter – Unsafety Check

Modelled on Facebook’s “Safety Check” in which users tag themselves as “safe” during emergency situations, Black Lives Matter created an “unsafe” app, that allowed users to tag themselves as feeling Unsafe in America due to systemic racism and wave of police shootings of Black Americans. Thousands of users marked themselves “unsafe” or indicated support for Black Lives Matter during the campaign, which also garnered international media attention.
