Nationwide demonstrations have taken place over the past few days to protest the death of George Floyd and bring attention to the systematic racism and police violence.
Like many of you, I’ve felt the need to do more to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement outside of just social media posts and hashtags. Listed below are 3 ways you can show support:
1. Register: The most important and sure-fire way to inflict change is by voting including local elections.
2. Sign: There are quite a few petitions available in the wake of the murder of Georgia Floyd. You can add your name in less than a minute.
3. Donate: money and are now redirecting donations to other organisations. Here are some US organisations that you can fund right now to support black people and help the fight against racism.
Official George Floyd Memorial Fund
American Civil Liberties Union
National Bail Fund Network or local bail funds across the US
National Police Accountability Project
