not related to this blog’s usual content, but this blog has a lot of followers, so im putting it here:
places to donate to support Black people in Minnesota protesting and protecting their right to live
Minnesota Freedom Fund - bail fund for arrested protestors. they have received a lot of support, and have asked people also donate to these organizations
Black Vision Collective - Black-led community outreach and uplifting program. for a world where Black lives not only matter, but thrive
Reclaim the Block - from their site: “invest in violence prevention, housing, resources for youth, emergency mental health response teams, and solutions to the opioid crisis - not more police”
Unicorn Riot - non-profit media organization dedicated to on-the-ground reporting on events like protests and police killings
George Floyd’s memorial fund - GoFundMe for supporting George Floyd’s family
I donated $20 to the MFF yesterday and $20 to Reclaim The Block today, and I encourage you to match me for either if you’re able!
If you’d like some further information or ways to help:
Here is a White House petition, which the White House is more likely to listen to as opposed to other sites. don’t forget to confirm your signature in the email they send after you sign it
Here is a Twitter thread which includes petitions to sign and places to donate, as well as information on other things you can do to help. And here is another one, which includes information on what you can do if you’re outside the US. These threads include places to call/email, scripts for doing so, and further reading on educating yourself and how to educate others on topics such as being anti-racist and police brutality
THIS is a highly comprehensive google doc of what you can do
