White friends, take note: this case of Klan-like night riding happened a week ago and barely resulted in any charges. I’m relieved there weren’t any deaths, but we shouldn’t need death to motivate us to do better. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireStory/sheriffs-deputy-faces-charges-charges-targeting-teen-70598752

Not sure what “doing better” means? Check out this thread that @cheeyennemariee took the time and effort to put together. Have conversations with other white people about racism. They may be “uncomfortable” but they are way easier than living in a white supremacist world. https://twitter.com/cheeyennemariee/status/1258805548209901569
If you have the financial means, join me in donating to @NationalBailOut & their Free Black Mamas initiative, or other organizations fighting to end racism and white supremacy. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/freeblackmamas2020
And remember, our work doesn’t end now that Ahmaud Arbery’s killers have been arrested and his family’s GoFundMe is funded 4x over (most of that work was done by Black people anyways). It’s OUR responsibility to end white supremacy.
This Twitter thread is a way of holding myself accountable for finding more ways to engage in the fight. I’d love to hear suggestions. I’m starting with additional donations to organizations through https://indigenouscovidresponse.com , https://www.lahuelga.com/undocumented-worker-fund, & https://surjohio.org/socialjusticestimulus/
