The protests have taken over the city, country, and honestly, the world. George Floyd was by far not the only one but he was the one that brought us to our breaking point. The Black community and our allies are fed up with the way we’re treated by the main group that’s sworn to serve and protect us. Police brutality against Black people has been running rampant for years and it’s like now more than just our personal communities are starting to realize it.
Joining protests is one of the first steps in ending this systemic racism against Black people and changing the racist policies that target our communities. But what is your plan after you get home and the protest is over?
Below is a never-ending list put together from all the organizations linked below. There are so many varying ways to support and I wanted to put some of my personal favorites all in one place for you. I will continue to update this post as I find new ways to support.
These are just a few ways you can learn, donate, and support. Please do your own research independent of this list before choosing the correct path for you.

Petitions aren’t everything and there is certainly more to do once you’re done, but they mean a lot to the people who create them. Show your city officials you actually care what they do and how they treat your family, friends, and loved ones.
