2) did you know there are 49 state senators in the Washington legislature and not a single one is black? Well we can change that. One of our most celebrated community leaders, @twinaforsenate, is running for senate. Support her today: https://twinanobles.com/index.php/donate/">https://twinanobles.com/index.php...
3) support the @TacUrbanLeague. The org is doing awesome work to support our black community in a wide spectrum of ways. You can learn more on their website (and make a donation while you’re there): https://thetacomaurbanleague.org/donate ">https://thetacomaurbanleague.org/donate&qu...
4) the Washington state House of Representatives have 98 members and only 5 members are black. Let’s help @Joy4WA bring her amazing values and ideas for change to Olympia. https://secure.anedot.com/joyforwa/donate2020">https://secure.anedot.com/joyforwa/...
5) learn about the work of the The Black Collective. Just thinking about the history of this group and it’s members makes me eyes well up. https://theblackcollective.org/about-us ">https://theblackcollective.org/about-us&...
6) another history lesson. This video about former @CityofTacoma City Manager and CEO of @PierceTransit James (Jim) Walton is an important watch is you want to better know our city’s history with civil rights. https://youtu.be/CP-3GqcL5pM ">https://youtu.be/CP-3GqcL5...
7) instead of watching Tiger King again maybe spend some time watching this video produced by the @CityofTacoma on reconning with our history of white supremacy: https://youtu.be/bsRW81F_zR0 ">https://youtu.be/bsRW81F_z...
8) i& #39;ll continue to add to this as able, but please add to the thread because is definitely not an exhaustive list
9) become a customer/client of a local black owned business. Check out this easy directory on the @TacUrbanLeague website: https://www.tulmembers.com"> https://www.tulmembers.com
