In light of George Floyd losing his life this week due to the Minneapolis PD, we wanted to use this platform to highlight black voices and practical information on protesting safely. White supremacy and institutional racism has been a problem for many years - we must all come together to change it.

If you are unfamiliar with the BLM movement, or don't understand why people don't say "all lives matter", please read this: https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/politics/a27075028/black-lives-matter-explained/

If you are protesting, please review the safety information here: https://right-to-protest.org/protect-your-protest/

If you are financially able, please assist George Floyd's family with the future travel and legal costs they are sure to incur fighting for justice. You can do so here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/georgefloyd

NB: The Minnesota Freedom Fund has received many donations, and are now referring those who want to support justice to local rebuilding orgs like Rebuild Lake St: https://www.welovelakestreet.com/
