What is SubSTANCE USE RECOVERY WITH RAIDS OF LOVE?
Substance Use Recovery with Raids of Love is all about helping to provide a safe space for people who are, or have struggled with, substance use. Whether it’s alcohol, or drugs, or a mixture, we want people to know that it’s okay, and we are here for them. Throughout the week, we will be raising money for To Write Love On Her Arms which is a charity that focuses on helping connect people with substance use problems with the proper resources to be able to get the help they need.
How Do Raids of Love Fit In?
The Raids of Love community will be the central force bringing the hype and attention to the event. While neither Kingbullet nor AWRebels have personally struggled with addictions in the past, people who were close to them have, and they have seen first hand the struggles that it can lead to..
Raids of Love partnered up with the charity organization To Write Love On Her Arms during this event to raise money for the charity, and help people in any way they can. Throughout the entire week, we will be discussing addictions, and how it’s effected us, and allowing for anyone who feels like sharing to open up about any struggles they have had as well. There will be resources readily available for anyone who is currently struggling and would like to seek help. If you or anyone you know is struggling with any kind of addiction or substance use, please, reach out and get help. Don’t struggle in silence.
During Raids of Love, Kingbullet, AWRebels, and guest streamers stream to their respective pages after creating a list of creators that should be raided. We then collaborate with our collective viewership and guide them – real people – to various creators’ pages where we encourage them to show love. Raiders share words of encouragement and compliments. Some Raiders also choose to drop gift subscriptions, personal subscriptions, stars (Facebook), bits (Twitch) or a follow. There are no bots, no hate, nor any negativity.
Substance Use Recovery Week
Substance Use Recovery Week will also consist of gaming & music creation. Across 4 different events, Kingbullet and AWRebels will invite fellow creators to “pregame” before the Raids of Love main event with a variety of playfully competitive games. These games include: Fall Guys, Among Us, Jackbox, and others. We are still looking for guest gamers to participate.
During the music creation portions of the event, AWRebels will create a song within 2 hours. The song will include lyrics from the audience, stories for participants, and instruments chosen by the viewers during the stream. This is an experience unlike any other.
At key moments throughout the week, our activities will encourage those able to donate to the To Write Love On Her Arms. Their efforts reflect Kingbullet and AWRebels’ desires to support all communities, especially the community struggling with addictions, in ensuring that everyone can have a voice, and get away from their addictions. Streamers, viewers, gamers, and gaming platforms have a responsibility to each other and Substance Use Recovery with Love Raids will bring attention to this responsibility.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Substance Use Recovery with Raids of Love was developed and designed by Kingbullet (twitch.tv/kingbullet) and AWRebels (fb.gg/awrebels) to bring Twitch and Facebook gaming community together. We are looking for viewers to participate, join the conversation and have some fun while raising awareness for people with disabilities. The event is free to attend.
