#Bang4Change Unity Flag

The #Bang4Change Unity Flag represents the oneness of the human family, from the darkest of us to the lightest of us. The black represents all Black people. The Brown represents Latinos and Native Americans. The Beige represents those who are identified as other whether they are Asian, Middle Eastern, Islander, etc. The White emphatically does NOT represent white nationalists Proud Boys, but the White allies who stand in support of solidarity with people of color. The spirit of its design was directly inspired by the revolutionary hip-hop group Dead Prez and their RBG flag. For the next 90 days the proceeds from the Unity Flag will help benefit Ferin Kidd's work with The Black OC and their #BuyBackTheBloc challenge.

#BuyBackTheBloc Moving forward from the BLM protests, activist and organizations have to figure out how they will continue to effect positive change. For some, that will be work in charity, law, politics or continued protesting, etc. For Black OC we believe the best way that we can effect positive change is by following the lead of the late, great hip hop artist Nipsey Hussle and build our community and culture through art and enterprise. For the next 90 days The Black OC will be engaging in the #BuyBackTheBloc challenge to sell 5,000 #Bang4Change Unity Flags. The proceeds will be invested into the purchase of a physical space that represents black businesses and culture in Orange County, CA. Some of the immediate things we seek to see in this space are a Dr. Sebi inspired vegan soul food cafe, a collaborative workspace, and a music and visual art center for youth, etc.

#Bang4Change Documentary: Immediately following the murder of George Floyd, feeling like he had to do something, activist and filmmaker Ferin Kidd flew to Minneapolis to document the protests. A chance encounter pairing him with a courageous demonstrator named Ashley, Ferin follows her lead as she navigates the dangers and complexities of the protests. Beginning January 1, 2021 - When you purchase a Unity Flag you'll be provided an exclusive link to view the #Bang4Change documentary.
