As the Black Lives Matter protests move into their fourth week, on-the-ground journalists are using Twitch to livestream the events and fundraise. With the popular platform continuing to diversify outside of gaming, Twitch is set to be an increasingly vital part of any brand’s media strategy.

Many K-pop fans have suspended efforts to get their idols trending on Twitter to instead join forces behind #BlackLivesMatter, showing solidarity with US protestors. The move shows how effectively fandoms can redirect their social media know-how towards activism and supporting causes.
