This is a short episode as I do not wish to take up space as a white person this week. It’s important that the voices and efforts of black folks are amplified. Instead, I simple offer these resources:
Anti-racist work:
Give money to the George Floyd Official Memorial Fund: CLICK HERE
Sign the petition to seek justice for Breonna Taylor: CLICK HERE
To seek justice for Ahmaud Arbery: CLICK HERE
Kentuckians, vote for and support Charles Booker: CLICK HERE
Support Chanelle Helm’s Louisville Mutual Aid Fund: CLICK HERE
Donate to your local chapter of Black Lives Matter: CLICK HERE
Louisville folks, pay reparations: CLICK HERE
Give money to the community bail fund: CLICK HERE
Help black organizers with their healing: CLICK HERE
Or make the effort to look into how to support local efforts of mutual aid and reparations. This could be something that you commit to on a weekly/monthly basis.
