On March 2019, I created a post championing #IGlinksforall #Swipeupforall ⠀
⠀
Yes all!⠀
⠀
I sent this message to members of the IG team and so many other influencers yet unfortunately, there has been no change on the “SWIPE UP” policy. (See my 2019 post in stories).⠀
⠀
Today when so many of the smaller accounts need this swipe up feature to educate and support their communities, they still do not have access to it. ⠀
⠀
I ask you again @instagram @evachen212 please can you consider #swipeupforall a timely initiative that can make all the difference.⠀
⠀
The black lives matter movement relies heavily on education and momentum which in turn requires links to articles and content created not just now but also in the long term. I feel we should be doing our bit to support and stand in solidarity for people today who are risking their health and lives to protest for their rights under some of the most difficult conditions ever seen. ⠀
⠀
Now if you believe every single account deserves a link feature other than those presumed “successful” under the Instagram guidelines take action now:⠀
⠀
Please repost this on your feed⠀
Share on your IG stories ⠀
Tag @Instagram. ⠀
Tag #Swipeupforall⠀
⠀
Let’s all do our bit to give leverage to the voices that need our support this very moment in time. ⠀

Please go ahead and follow the below amazing accounts so that they can continue to bring diversity in the communities they serve:⠀
