Daredevil Rewatch S1E7: Stick
MCU Need to Know
06/15/20 • 85 min
We talked about it in the opener and we definitely wanted to mention it here as well. We're both in full support of the Black Lives Matter movements and we wanted to share some resources to help keep the focus where it matters.
- https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/# (Education, Petitions, and Donation Links!)
- White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism
- 1619 (A podcast by The New York Times)
- Why Are the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? by Beverly Daniel Tatum
- Pod Save the People (A podcast by Crooked Media)
- How Racism Takes Place by George Lipsitz
- Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man by Emmanuel Acho
- Code Switch ( A podcast by NPR)
We encourage you to take the time to explore these links and learn more about the Black Lives Matter movement. Every little thing we do adds up, and together we can make meaningful change!
After that, then you can join us for episode 7 of Daredevil season one!
If this is your first episode, we've been doing a rewatch of Daredevil! Our original plan was to launch alongside Black Widow, but since that got pushed back we decided to carry on with this as we wait!
