Can We Trust "The People's Union"?

: started today 12AM midnight. And while TheBLACKMedia supports the idea, we have concerns about the founder, the appropriation, and the erasure. To be clear, we are in no way making claims that there is foul play here, or that the almost $70,000 raised will be misused, we are simply questioning the founder, and his practices.
And while on the surface it appears John Schwarz is a standup guy who's only looking out for the people, the obvious use of clearly appropriated Black Power tactics, symbols, signs, structure, language, iconography, and infrastructure to come is very alarming considering there seems to be absolutely no Black People involved, nor mentioned in what is very clearly stemming from systemic oppression that negatively impacts us, not White people.
While this movement has bones, it has failed to realize and join the movements that have been around for years, and in recent months have established clear goals for the outright disrespect Black people have faced due to the trump administration.
I still encourage everyone to join the Blackout, however, , , , .Informed, and several others have already effectively boycotted TARGET and other companies. As you see here, John has a Target boycott set for late summer.
If this pans out, we hope John continues what seems to be great transparency, inclusion, and integrity, we do hope however that he takes into consideration the appropriation and potential erasure here as he moves forward. Respectfully, it's not "the people" of America that are grossly, majorly, and tangibly impacted by the current administration, it's literally The Black People that are suffering. Can we trust this?
