It’s dangerous to not listen–that keeps us from learning.
Here is a small resource list of organizations and people educating and fighting for Black Lives.
Thank you to Herban Healing: Shelagh Brown, Almost Consulting & Kim Julie Hansen for your resource lists.
Please take the time to donate money to those you learn from. No More Free Labor!
