Amongst the ecosystem of important actions- protests, voting etc- required to reduce disparities through tangible sustainable actions that affirm that #Blacklivesmatter, there is definitely room for people of goodwill - a coalition of the willing - to enact global Virtual Constructs that cannot be limited by any dominant political economy.
