I’ve been working on a post about my situation but now isn’t the time to focus on me. It’s no time to stay silent with all this injustice going on, either. I’ll post resources that informed me & gave action to take. I hope they help you, too. Let’s stay focused on what matters.
Understanding concepts like white privilege can help folks get a better handle on why what’s going on in America today is so insidious. Racial equity tools has a primer on that topic:

Rachel Cargle’s Racial Justice Research Document is a great look at the ongoing patterns of racial injustice in America. If you’re looking at everything and wondering what it’s all about, start here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/36868690
For folks who want to do something but don’t know where or what, Ejeris Dixon (et al) wrote “26 Ways To Be In the Struggle Beyond the Streets” https://issuu.com/nlc.sf.2014/docs/beyondthestreets_final
Supporting bail funds can be a way to help people targeted by systemic injustice navigate through that ordeal. Here’s one I donated to in the PNW but searching for a local fund for your area should be easy.

What we say and do has an impact, and I hope that you’re finding ways to use your power to help people who need it. This is a time to listen to black voices, support wherever we can, and take action. https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/#
