Twitch streamers RekItRaven, Lucia Everblack, and Shineypen organized the hashtag #ADayOffTwitch, encouraging streamers to take a break from the platform and not go live that day in protest of Twitch’s inaction against hate speech, according to IGN.

The boycott originated earlier this month from the hashtag #TwitchDoBetter, which was used by streamers to ask the platform to better protect marginalized users from the hate speech they frequently experience.
