The “All Birthdays Matter” hashtag is a reference to the widely criticized phrase “All Lives Matter,” which was created in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. “All Lives Matter” has typically been used to dismiss the support for Black rights and has been denounced by many people.
Some people also used the hashtag to honor the lives of Black people who have died after incidents with the police, such as George Floyd.
Gotta love Twitter!
