To truly be an ally for black people, we need to take action every day. Not just when it is reported on the days or week after yet another black life is lost unjustly. As white people, we have privilege that keeps us alive and safe every waking, breathing minute. <\/strong><\/p>

We can breathe. <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>
I’m making this page because black people deserve to be listened to and fought for every single day. Hopefully, putting this racial justice page at the front of my blog will be one step in the right direction. This page will be a collection of resources in which people can donate, sign petitions, take action, or educate themselves and others. ALL of these ways are important to making change in our country towards achieving racial justice and equity. Not everyone can be on the frontline, especially with the virus. The resources below show more ways you can get involved in the movement. If you’re not getting involved, you’re part of the problem. Silence is complicity. <\/strong><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
