Police brutality and police inaction led to the recent murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and many more innocent black folx. In light of these events, we decided to compile a list of ways to show support for and take action toward the Black Lives Matter movement. This is by no means a comprehensive list; if you know of any resources that you’d like us to add, please email us at [email protected].
