Attend a protest
Your physical presence matters. Find local protests to show your support on the front lines.
As TimeOut puts it:
If you are going to make your voice heard, especially in the US, here’s what you need to know before you go out to protest. We’ve also asked an expert how to protest while staying physically distant from others.
Sign a petition
You can make your presence known in written form, too. Click and add your name to #JusticeforFloyd and Justice for George Floyd.
You can also click to sign petitions for Breonna Taylor, Ahmed Arbery, Belly Mujinga.
Even just using the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag can help to draw attention where its needed.
Vote
Build a system of fairness by voting for it. TimeOut suggests:
In the USA, Black Lives Matter is running a ‘register to vote’ campaign ahead of the 2020 presidential election. You can also use this tool to find and contact your local congressional representative.
Study up on anti-racism
A big part of the work ahead is to actively, consciously, intentionally build a new system that ensures healing justice, fairness, and safety. It’s a compelling time to become anti-racist.
