We support black americans as they stand today against decades of racism, injustice and systemic violence in America.
Here are some resources on how you can help, learn, and spread awareness of the injustices black americans face every day. Even if you think this is not something that should concern you, or that it doesn’t apply to you as a non-american, I’d still encourage you to read and educate yourself on the Black Lives Matter movement. Not only just to support your friends abroad, but as a learning tool to recognize and fight against racism and abuse on your local community.
There’s also some information on mental health resources, that we hope can be useful as well. They’re primarily geared towards black americans, but there’s also some general numbers and websites that can be of use to anyone. Don’t be scared to take a break from social media or the relentless news cycle from time to time; it’s okay to not be okay.
