White people:
We gotta talk about burn out. You aren’t conditioned to be thinking about race this much because of your privilege. We need you to do all you’re doing today, tomorrow, and until the end of time.
Let’s talk about ways to focus on current & systemic change.

Systemic: You can’t learn everything rn. Make a list. Learn to find the answers yourself before asking. Take the time to actually look it up. Read multiple sources. Sit with it.

Consider how much you can give. Can you give more? If you gave 5K in one swoop, can you give 400/month?
Systemic: Ask your bosses about recurring matches for donations long-term.

Systemic: Build Black authors into your life, fiction, non-race-based non-fiction.

It’s going to take time and patience but research Black-owned businesses to support instead.
Systemic: Boycott massively complicit companies.

Systemic: Evaluate what your long-term commitments to this work are. Build vocab to address racism. Figure out your “if they do this, I will do this”.

Systemic: Teach it to all the people around you, especially the ones who look like you.
This isn’t an exhaustive list but as I am so I’m ending it here for now. I might come back to it later.
