he death of George Floyd earlier this year caused protests, riots and looting in New York City, Chicago and other major cities across the country. Schreiber High School seniors, Aphrodite Dimopoulos and Ellen Efkarpidis, decided to make a difference in their own community. The two girls came up with the idea to create their own bracelets and donate the profits to causes which help to create change across the country. LERA bracelets, which stands for Learn, Educate, Respond and Act, were created in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. “The bracelets were invented to create unity within our community with hopes to unify the country, as we feel a partial split,” their mission states.
