I have gotten some messages from followers asking how they can help support racial justice in these times.
This is a great compilation of resources for getting started. If you go to college, your campus may have its own groups you can join, or even start your own! Consider bringing a friend. Converting others can have a HUGE effect. Volunteering to help with voter registration events for POC is another great thing to do. Also remember to VOTE! Racial justice really is a political fight sadly enough. It truly us verses racism and white supremacy. If we band together, we will be able to flip even huge red states like Texas blue for good and help set out country on the right path for more diverse leadership!
Lastly, I should remind you that if you are white, it is important to remember that even as an ally, this movement is not yours and to respect POC’s voices in their spaces. It is so heartwarming to see the explosive growth of racial justice. BLACK LIVES MATTER!
It can be hard to process everything going on right now. If you are not sure of what to say or do, you can always listen. Listen to those with a voice. And allow everyone to have a voice. Because listening cultivates learning. . . This was a previous issue of The Medical Chronicles, and yet, these problems still remain. Articles talk about #racism and #sexism in #medicine. Link is in the bio (https://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/1222666?__r=184846). Please consider buying a copy, and proceeds from this issue will be donated to @colorofchange, an organization that “designs campaigns powerful enough to end practices that unfairly hold Black people back, and champion solutions that move us all forward. Until justice is real.” . . . #BlackLivesMatter #WhiteCoatsforBlackLives #justice #medicine https://www.instagram.com/p/CA6XqNDh3aq/?igshid=6d8syavu1vv8

the newsies would absolutely protest for blm every night no matter the tear gas or curfews but some of the fandom isn’t ready to have that conversation.
This blog supports all social movements looking to better society. Black Lives Matter.
