The Gaming Community Raises Over $35,000 for Black Lives Matter
The gaming community is coming together to support the Black Lives Matter movement. Trainwreckstv’s Scuffed podcast recently raised more than $35,000 in just five hours for Color of Change.
Top broadcasters and community members on Twitch joined Trainwreck on the podcast, including Asmongold, Greekgodx, Pokimane, Hasanabi, Slasher, and NICKMERCS.
Trainwreck expressed his gratitude to his community and his special guests for their support in helping the Color of Change charity, the world’s largest online racial justice organization.
The podcast also addressed the worldwide protests against police brutality and systemic racism. As the discussion continued, donations poured in.
The gaming industry as a whole has shown tremendous support for the Black Lives Matter movement. Many industry events have been delayed in order to give a voice to those who need it most. For instance, the highly anticipated PlayStation 5 reveal event was indefinitely postponed due to the current situation.
Even Call of Duty players were greeted with a Black Lives Matter screen when launching their games today.
