Here are Some Things You Can Do Right Now
Right now, we are in the middle of a civil rights uprising and fighting for the future of Black lives and racial justice. The murder of George Floyd at the hands of police, followed by the murders of Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, have sparked important and necessary dialogue and action about white supremacy and police brutality.
