HOW ELSE CAN I HELP?

• 26 Ways to Be in the Struggle Beyond the Streets
• Register to vote: https://www.vote.org/register-to-vote/
• Actually get out and vote on a local and state level to make lasting changes in your community, not just the presidential election.
• Google whether your local police department currently outfits all on-duty cops with body cameras & requires that it be turned on immediately when officers respond to a call. If they don’t, write to your city government representative and police chief to advocate for it. Multiply your impact: encourage those around you to do so as well.
• Educate yourself on what it means to be anti-racist.
• Share resources and information with those around you.
• Have hard conversations with those who express racist sentiments, don’t understand why police reform is necessary, hold misinformed beliefs about racism/the police/etc. Do the work of explaining things and changing minds that can be changed so the people of color around you don’t have to.
• Stop supporting organizations and businesses that promote hate. Inform others when you learn that they support those organizations/businesses.
• Donate to support initiatives you care about even after the protests are over, if you have the means to do so.
• Check in on your black loved ones. Acknowledge that you see what’s happening and are standing in solidarity. Don’t ask them to educate you; do the work yourself.
• Continue to be an advocate and an ally after the acute outrage ends.
