We Are All Learning

hi babes, 

While the weight of the world is incredibly heavy during this time, we polled our Facebook group to see what resources we could all benefit from. Here is a compiled list of literature resources, funds to donate, and numbers to call.

@RachRodgersEsq had a beautiful post shedding some light on things you can do today (and everyday)

1. Amplify Black Voices
2. Have Hard Conversations
3. Vote with Your Dollars
4. Read and Educate Yourself
5. Follow and Pay Black Activists 
6. Donate and Support the Fight 
7. Ask Black Members of Your Community if They Are OK
