since i’m from the uk + probably have quite a few followers from the uk, i thought i’d gather some ways we can support black people in the uk atm (this is not comprehensive, just things i have come across, will probably add to + encourage others to add to!):
donate to black minds matter uk who are currently crowdfunding to offer free therapy sessions with black practitioners to as many black individuals + families as possible atm - donate here + their website with more info on is here
donate to uk black lives matter here
donate to this fund in memory of belly mujinga, a railway worker who was spat at whilst at work + later died of coronavirus. the money is going towards supporting her family, including her 11 year old daughter
donate to uk black pride here
donate to this crowdfund which is raising money to support black-owned publishers committed to inclusive publishing - the crowdfund ends in 8 days (10th june)
WRITE TO YOUR MP! u can use this website as an easy way to find your local mp + send them a message - remember to include your address so they know you’re one of their constituents. a couple of things you could include in your message to them:
demand the immediate suspension of uk sales of teargas, riot shields + rubber bullets to the US - see this article for more info about this
ask them to respond to the DELAYED release of the report into BAME covid deaths + demand the government do more to tackle the death rate - you can read the report here
