#BLM

Описание: Hello, we at Loonbase had the privilege to sit down with our friend Taylor Banks to discuss the BLACK LIVES MATTER movement. Taylor formerly co-ran/founded an organization called "Diversify D.I.Y." which set out on an ambitious journey to help make D.I.Y. music spaces more diverse and inclusive. Diversify D.I.Y. has since been dissolved but the mission is not complete.

We used our platform as white allies in the D.I.Y. community to help Taylor spread some tips on how to be a better ally. The #BLM movement is not a trend and will not stop until real change is achieved.
