I’m not black and I’m not American, but I’m trying to do my part in building an equal future for ourselves and future generations, being a decent human being should be enough to get involved so please consider checking out the following links and info.
As a white person, I think getting educated is the first step in understanding the struggles of Black folks in America and Black people in general; here are some of the books I’m planning on buying (note that some of these are not available yet, at least in my country):
“This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Colour” by Cherríe Moraga
“Redefining Realness” by Janet Mock
“White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism” by Robin Diangelo and Michael Eric Dyson
“Their Eyes Were Watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston and Zadie Smith
“The Warmth Of Other Suns” by Isabel Wilkerson
“The Next American Revolution: Sustainable Activism for the Twenty-First Century” by Grace Lee Boggs and Scott Kurashige
“The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness” by Michelle Alexander
“The Fire Next Time” by James Baldwin
“The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison
“So You Want to Talk About Race” by Ijeoma Oluo
“Sister Outsider” by Audre Lorde and Cheryl Clarke
“Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption” by Bryan Stevenson
“I’m Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness” by Austin Channing Brown

Donating is always helpful, but as a university student I know it can be hard to save money and economically support good causes at the same time; this is why I’m copying the link of a great YouTube video that allows you
to the Black Lives Matter movement
without donating or even leaving your house
. You simply need to watch the video and let the ads run fully, all of the AdSense revenue will be donated to different associations:

Here is a playlist with the same purpose:
