ANTI-RACISM RESOURCES

Ijeoma Oluo writes “Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And it’s the only way forward.” In an effort to help, I quickly pulled together a few simple ways to take action and support the black community:

  1. Sign the petition at www.justiceforbigfloyd.com or text 55156.

  2. Call 612-324-4499 and be a voice of justice.

  3. Use your financial privilege – Donate to @NAACP, @Blklivesmatter, @innocenceproject & @mnfreedomfund.

  4. Watch my friend Dale’s video and check out his resource list - four pages long and AMAZING.

  5. If you own a business, see what changes you can make to be more inclusive.

  6. Listen to Black people and their experiences. Read about Black history and read literature by Black authors.

  7. Use social media and the web to seek out content produced by Black artists, activists, and journalists. This is a great Instagram account and the podcast 1619 by The New York Times is awesome.

  8. Use your financial privilege to buy from Black-owned businesses.

  9. Vote to help put Black people and other POC in higher positions of power. Check out Higher Heights for America.
