Good Morning World! It's been a rough and emotional week but if you're reading this the good news is we've all survived.
INSIDE:
Looting is without a doubt one of the many polarizing aspects of the 2020 Riots. From false looting narratives, to divisive media reports, it looks a lot different than the riots of '92. There is though, a lesson that luxury brands and all major corporations can learn from metaphorically "biting the hand that feeds them."
Campaign Zero proposes a concrete plan to reduce police violence.

The Lesson in Looting for Luxury Brands
|
|
|
Coming off of an apology marathon over the past year and a half into the thick of looting..what luxury brands should learn from the past week's events..
|
|

Designers and brands have spent the past four years trying to distinguish, with varying degrees of success, the difference between tepid support for social justice issues and true activism. The realities of looted stores and calls from consumers to speak out and do better have now brought many of those figures to a crossroads, including some who woke up last Saturday and Sunday to news that their own stores had been vandalized. A number of writers, journalists, and activists have long sought to contextualize looting, but it remains a divisive issue. In the fashion industry, that is no exception.

8 Reforms to Reduce Police violence
|
|
|
Campaign Zero provides data-backed proposal for changing how departments use force
|
|
|
Campaign Zero was formed in 2015 by a group of activists and researchers with the goal of collecting and publicizing police department data and practices in order to understand how to significantly reduce police violence. The research that led to 8 Can’t Wait also began in 2015 with what soon became the Police Use of Force Project—a numbers-driven, reader-friendly examination of the violent tactics that police departments in America’s 100 largest cities employ. The idea is that, if police departments adopt eight reforms of when and how they use force, the ensuing data shows a significant drop in killings—as much as 72% if all eight are followed.

East Atlanta duo Osei & Armani offer a diverse and refreshing sound and took on the task of releasing 52 songs this year (one for every week of the year). The duo first began making music together in 2015, seeing early success with their first EP “Tired of Being Broke” garnering over 120k streams on SoundCloud under the moniker Hollywood Cold (switched to Osei & Armani in 2019). With a refreshing combination of rap, R&B, and indie sounds, they offer sincere, heartfelt honesty; depicting life as young, struggling, black artists chasing a dream.

“Continuing to build on their stage presence is at the forefront, and the artists are committed to putting in the work to make their dreams happen.”
“Osei and Armani are two Atlanta natives who have taken the trap influence of their hometown and subverted it into a sound that is uniquely their own.”
Osei and Armani detail their journey in the music industry and also (receive) a shoutout (from) Charlamagne Tha God on "BREAKFAST CLUB.”
“Osei & Armani is a duo that excels in multiple genres and creates a truly original sound and style that fans all over the country will be able to connect and relate with.”
