EMPOWERING THE COMMUNITY
IT’S TIME FOR DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS
While not comprehensive, this list in it’s entirety is dedicated to ways you can help
With that being said, this is collaborative so please feel free to add anything you have found yourself, any further suggestions simply send them to me and I will update it
Remember it is a privilege to educate yourself and not have to experience racism
Racism runs so deeply manifested in our society we HAVE to actively unlearn
We MUST be consciously anti-racist, each and every individual effort is recognised and appreciated
You can do more than you think! You are so wildly capable
To be silent is to be complicit.
Do something.
This (hopefully) makes it easier

WHAT YOU CAN DO
Protests against racism are often peaceful, despite what the media will tell you
Don’t believe everything you see and do your own research, curate opinions based on multifaceted sources
Peaceful protests have been ongoing for decades - enough is enough
Organised violence is necessary to overcome violence of oppressors
Silence is betrayal. Silence is violence.
The narrative of systematic oppression and violence must end
