by Allison Piwowarski

As reports are continuing to roll in after the Brussels attacks on Tuesday, it is important for those around the world to show their support of Brussels and all of Belgium in any way they can. What is one way you can show your support of those affected in Brussels by the three explosions that occurred? One small, but incredibly powerful, change you can make is to change your Facebook profile photo to support Belgium.

Sure, maybe Facebook seems like a secondary form of social media nowadays, but by changing your profile picture to show the Belgium flag, you are showing your support of those that were affected by the attacks. However small it seems, standing in unity at a time like this is crucial to show the world. No matter how far away you are from Belgium at this time, the flag's colors placed over your profile photo says one thing: I stand with you, Belgium.
