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& #39;t know where to start, I& #39;ve listed some options in this thread. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
Donate to a Bail Fund or purchase a Bail Bond. I& #39;ll list some sites I& #39;ve donated through already (though there are others). The National Bail Fund Network https://www.communityjusticeexchange.org/nbfn-directory ">https://www.communityjusticeexchange.org/nbfn-dire...
The Brooklyn Community Bail Fund https://brooklynbailfund.org/ ">https://brooklynbailfund.org/">...
Another thing you can do is contact Minneapolis District Attorney, Mike Freeman, to demand justice for George Floyd: 612-348-5550, citizeninfo@hennepin.us 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& #39;re able) to support Black-owned businesses, to center Black people in your community, and to support the #BlackLivesMatter https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> movement.
And please, educate yourself. If you want to support the Black community, don& #39;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& #39;ve said here, please just unfollow me. I do not want to engage with anyone who is willing to accept this violence.
You can follow @JoSVolpe.
