We're all angry about George Floyd.

So, want to know what you can ACTUALLY do to help?
Where to donate? How to organise protests? How to stay safe around police? Where black people can find free therapy? What to read to educate yourself?

Here's how you can make a difference:

Watch the whole thing. Eloquent. Clear. Everyone is angry but there is a way to direct that anger.

So what can we do now? Well firstly education is key.

As an adult these are some essential texts that are worth reading from @akalamusic @afuahirsch @renireni @AdamRutherford

We are purposefully not taught about this history to maintain the current order. 4/?

“SO YOU DON’T LIKE RACISM, BUT YOU’RE IN THE UK AND FEEL POWERLESS TO DO ANYTHING?”

I have had several conversations with friends who have recently felt powerless as to what they can/should be doing in response to some of the atrocities in the US.

Here are some ideas. 1/?

[Karla @HonestlyKarla]

There are many excellent resources circulating from people on the forefront of fighting this and I can't add much to those but to ask that we sign petitions, donate if we can, have difficult conversations, educate ourselves.

[Karla @HonestlyKarla]

BLACK LIVES MATTER. The systemic racism that we have woven into our societal systems - not just in the US but around the world - needs to be dismantled. Violence against black members of our societies needs to stop.
