If you had the ability to escape to an island and create a custom world, what would you do? Would you use it to connect or disconnect?Some "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" players use it to do both -- and more recently, the link has included protests.

With its built-in online hosting capabilities, "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" provides a unique way for people of all ages to support ongoing protests against police brutality and systemic racism, even if they stay at home during the pandemic. Typically, players of Animal Crossing: New Horizons create an island paradise that includes buildings, objects, and interactions with non-player and player characters. Players can not only design their own worlds and homes in the game, but also customize the personal items used by their characters. If you need items, you ACNH Items can purchase it on https://www.acbellsbuy.com/. If you enter " bells" in the code column, you will get a 10% discount.

More recently, as demonstrations and protests continue to erupt around the world with the importance of Black Lives, these gaming tools have been used to create digital protests where users add "BLM" images to logos and characters' clothes. Jennifer Stavros is the GAME'S DJ, with a BLM poster on the turntable. Protesters sat chanting "Black lives matter".

Since only eight players can enter another player's island at a time, interested players are directed to a site where players line up for entry. When it's the player's turn, they get a special code to enter the island.

Protest organizers created custom signs, pillows and commemorative photographs, and set up a special road and area on the island to hold sit-ins. Players are encouraged to bring in-game currency --also known as Animal Crossing Bells-- to the island, which is converted by the console into charity donations in the player's name. The protest raised money for six different charities. Including the NAACP, the National Bail Fund Network, and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Parents who are reluctant to take their children to physical protests, where there is a risk of physical injury or confrontation, can collaborate and support the black community by participating in or even hosting virtual protests. This is a virtual peaceful protest.
