#blacklivesmatter resources
As protests have begun and continue to take over the entire world, it is important for us all to take time to reflect on what we can do to empower Black lives and all people of colour both in our community and worldwide. Not only should we be anti-racist but we should support those of ethnic minorities and ensure that we actively fight for others to be anti-racist as well. Push for political action towards defunding the police and distributing that money towards housing services, schooling systems, or other social programs where people of colour are unrightfully treated. Now is the time to take a stand with people of colour around the world, magnify their voices, and take action.
