Black Lives Matter Resources & Links
“Speak up but do not speak for”
We stand with Black Lives Matter. We need to amplify the voices of the black community. You are heard. We are listening. It’s time to take action, posting on social media is not enough.
What does action look like:
-Making donations
-Highlighting the voices of black people
-PAY for the services of black people- especially those that are educating us
-Understand that education is your responsibility- do not ask black people to educate you
