Give what you can to organizations, families of victims, and individuals. Urge celebrities and multimillionaires to send portions of their wealth to people who need it. Protestors are being arrested, Black people are being murdered, and people can’t support their livelihoods. If you have the privilege of having extra money in your account, send some to these organizations and urge your friends to do the same.
As always, be wary of the legitimacy of donation funds, as there are people exploiting generosity and allies of the Black community by creating GoFundMe’s etc. claiming to support Black folx, but taking the money themselves.
