75 Things White People Can Do for Racial Justice

5/27/2020

1 Comment

 
After the death of George Floyd earlier this week, four Minneapolis police officers have been fired for their involvement. Floyd repeatedly pleaded for his life, as an officer held him down with his knees. Only a few days later, a white woman called the police on a black man who was bird-watching in Central Park. These are only the stories that have hit the news, and they are stories that have been told a hundred times over.

When will we all stand up and say enough is enough?

We all play a role, but we may not know what to do to help. Read here to discover 75 things anyone, and everyone, should do to demand racial justice.

Ahmaud Arbery was killed doing what he loved, and a south Georgia community demands justice

5/5/2020

0 Comments

 
Ahmaud Arbery had gone for a run. The former high school football speedster often jogged through the neighborhoods southwest of Brunswick, but, on February 23, he was viewed as a threat, a thief. Someone in Satilla Shores called 911 to say "a black male running down the street" -- Arbery -- might be responsible for a rash of burglaries. Within minutes, three blasts erupted from Travis McMichael's shotgun, and Arbery was dead in the street.

It's been more than 10 weeks since the shooting. Learn more about updates in the case here.
