Resources for supporting the Black Lives Matter movement.
Black lives matter. Our nation is suffering. It’s important for us to be involved and support our Black brothers and sisters. It’s not enough to not be racist, we need to actively be anti-racist. Continue to protest, share stories, sign petitions, call/write elected officials, donate when you can, and don’t give up.
Remember that this is a movement, not a moment. It’s ok to get overwhelmed and take a break. Self-care is important. Get involved again when you can.
Use this link to access a list of resources to support the Black Lives Matter movement. We will continue to share resources and information on our Instagram so make sure you follow us.
