Eligible brands will be available to apply for grants and at the moment the size of the grants hasn’t yet been disclosed.
Next up, Rihanna has co-funded a $4.2 million grant with twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to aid victims of domestic abuse.The grant will go to the Mayor’s Fund for LA and will be used to provide resources and support for those suffering from domestic violence amid the lockdown.
In other news, Taiwanese male officials donned pink masks during a press conference to make a statement surrounding gender norms. It comes after concerns arose that boys would refuse to wear pink masks out of a fear they would be bullied. The officials hope it will show children that there are no gender-specific colours.
That’s all for today.
