DONATIONS
Closing my ko-fi for now. In the meantime, I urge you to please throw your monetary support elsewhere. Look locally first. Otherwise, some donation suggestions below:
- https://twitter.com/hopewrlds/status/1266856971610632192 (thread of GoFundMes for affected businesses)
- https://secure.everyaction.com/zae4prEeKESHBy0MKXTIcQ2 (Reclaim the Block)
- https://www.northstarhealthcollective.org/donate (North Star Health Collective)
- https://bailproject.org/
If you can manage it, consider making a recurring donation as it helps these orgs immensely with planning and managing their funding/resources in the long-term.
PROTESTING
If you're protesting, please, please be safe out there as a lot of cops & white supremacists are taking advantage of the chaos to really hurt people. See this thread on HK techniques - https://mobile.twitter.com/_lMWE/status/1266261811822657538
EDUCATING
If you're not able to donate/protest, start by sharing this flowchart (snagged from MyCivicWorkout) and then dedicate time looking into this resource list here - https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/#
--
If you're in a position to do so, reach out to and advocate for your immediate network. Talk to your bosses and your co-workers about being better allies (or allies, period). Build relationships with black people and other disenfranchised folx at work and within your community. Do better. Please, please take care out there.
