Three Ways Be an Ally for Black Lives Matter
With all the information and resources being shared, it's critical to keep your focus and sustain your action. Here are 3 ways to keep the momentum going:
1) Listen and learn. There area a multitude of ways to do this (see links below) but this thread by Dr. Alfiee Breland-Noble provides some guidance.
2) Center voices and experiences of those who live it.
3) Stay in for the long haul. One way to do this is to get involved with an organization such as S.U.R.J., Showing Up for Racial Justice. They have several chapters, offer many ways to learn, and lots of ways stay involved!
