Resources to Support Black Communities

Black lives matter. We grieve and honor George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery, and all of the Black lives lost to police brutality and white supremacy. We can’t ignore the systemic inequality that has and continues to hurt Black communities in this country.

If you are searching for ways to help and stand up for Black communities, here are 6 things we are doing and ways you can support:

1. Read the 10 Steps to Non-Optical Allyship.
2. Donate if you have the means:

   • Here is a list of organizations you can donate to:
     • Until Freedom
     • Black Lives Matter
     • NAACP Legal Defense Fund
     • Community Bail Funds

3. Educate yourself on racism in America. Here’s a list of resources to help you get started (and whenever possible purchase from a Black-owned bookstore).
   • An Antiracist Reading List from the NYTimes
   • Seeing White podcast
   • So You Want To Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo
   • The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander
