Last update: March 18th, 2021

Here are some Antiracism and Black Lives Matter resources, I will continue to update this as I find more appropriate and helpful resources. Whether you’re Black or not, protesting or not, these resources are for everyone, it ranges from arts to academics, to health, and wellness, and of course policies/organizing efforts as well.

I know it’s not enough and I know it doesn’t have everything but I just want to contribute and help in any way I can. Feel free to share, and if you have more resources you know of please let me know so I can add them (ig edmee.marie), this is just a starting place.

Updates: newest will be highlighted

Get involved with local races 

It is absolutely essential that we are involved in local elections as well. It directly impacts and concerns the health and safety of your community. So it is important to get people excited about local candidates and their platforms. It gets them invested in local politics (and more likely to vote).
