CARE IS OUR
GREATEST CURRENCY
Dave and I stand in Solidarity and in Support of Black Lives Matter and BIPOC as a whole. We realize that we are in no position to inform, lecture, or educate as we are re-educating ourselves. But we do wish to provide opportunities for a more in-depth understanding of the issues at hand and are dedicated to providing resources aimed at facilitating action, education and healing. It starts with each and every one of us. We stand for change. Even the smallest action from each of us can make a huge impact.
Small things done with great love will change the world ~ Mother Teresa

I found this resource listing incredibly helpful. For me, education is the first stepping stone to begin to understand and identify the implicit biases that shape how we move through the world and benefit from privileges that can go unseen by our social misunderstanding.
These resources were compiled by NYC mayoral candidate Dianne Morales and offer powerful courses of action you can take to make a difference and create real change:
* Petitions to Sign
* Text, Call and Email actions
* Donate
* Support Local Black Businesses
* Healing and Mental Health Resources
* Resources for Protesters
* Protester Safety and Protesting Alternatives
* Educational Material
* Voting
* Allyship
Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men. – Mahatma Gandhi
Holiday Phillips
Another powerful voice I discovered is Holiday Phillips. She provides great clarity and healing conversations on race and equality. She shines the light on truth where you are left with a better understanding of your place in the world and your responsibility for it. She’s enlightened my understanding of allyship and what is true support and what is not. I highly suggest you spend time with her. She is a huge source of inspiration and light! Her instagram handle is @holidayphillips.
