The murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many others in the black community at the hands of police brutality and blatant racism is inexcusable. As allies, we must be actively anti-racist, listen to black voices, and use our privilege to uplift and support their message however we can. We will continue to educate ourselves on which organizations need assistance during this time, what we can do as allies to serve the black community better, and how best to serve the black lives matter movement. We encourage our followers to do the same.
If you haven’t done so already…
