I believe the breast cancer week also raises money. Other at least points people towards a particular foundation they can donate to.
If it doesn't do that, then it's totally worthless too. Everyone knows breast cancer exists.
You should look up what "raising awareness" means.
It's not about "making people aware". The key word is "raising". Yes, many people, if not all people, are aware of police brutality. Raising awareness increases their awareness of specific incidents, or of the need to do more to prevent it. It isn't worthless if it encourages people to go do something. Did Randy Moss wearing that tie cause more people to go and do something, maybe donate to some causes? Maybe, maybe not, but neither of us can say for sure, so I'm not sure why you seem intent on mocking an action that may have caused some good.
