Still on Twitter hiatus, but jumping in here with a plea to all of my followers. PLEASE consider how you can help fight against the blatant racism that is systemic in this country. If you don't know where to start, I've listed some options in this thread. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
Donate to a Bail Fund or purchase a Bail Bond. I'll list some sites I've donated through already (though there are others). The National Bail Fund Network https://www.communityjusticeexchange.org/nbfn-directory 
Another thing you can do is contact Minneapolis District Attorney, Mike Freeman, to demand justice for George Floyd: 612-348-5550, [email protected] I did just read that the officer who murdered him has been arrested, but what about the other three?
Use your platform and your dollars (if you're able) to support Black-owned businesses, to center Black people in your community, and to support the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
And please, educate yourself. If you want to support the Black community, don't get defensive or wallow if you make a mistake in your attempt to navigate being an ally. Learn from the mistake and keep supporting.
And if you wholly disagree with anything I've said here, please just unfollow me. I do not want to engage with anyone who is willing to accept this violence.
