Hey, so I haven’t really voiced my opinion in the current state of the world involving black lives matter.
Not for lack of wanting to, but it might’ve been because I didn’t think I was the right person to be speaking
on these issues. Plus several others have voiced how best to help in a much better blog posts, as seen here
*Please read the blog posts linked above, they have FAR more valuable information than this post*
But maybe that’s also a problem? I’m not talking about it. So rather than be silent, I thought I’d provide
some useful resources I’ve found during this time to educate myself. Because although I am against racism, I
can STILL work on improving myself, as well as you can too, moving forward.
So rather than reiterate what the amazing blog posts above already stated, I figured I’d quickly just share
what I found.
1. Change starts with you
2. Identify your privilege
3. Help as best as you can

But we can also donate (whatever amount we can) to the following:
