Why Are You Here?

With everything that is going on in the world, have you found yourself constantly asking “What Can I Do”, not only to help, but create change? This website was created as a starting point for those that are frustrated with the inequalities that we have turned a blind eye to for far too long. Much of this work is internal, it’s emotional and it can be very hard. Becoming anti-racist is not a state of being, it’s a life long journey and a choice that one must choose.

While voting, educating yourself & others, volunteering and donating are highly important, they are just the beginning. Many of the issues we are fighting today, are the same issues that Martin Luther King Jr., James Reeb, John Lewis, Frank Kameny and others fought for during their time. This isn’t going to be easy and change isn’t going to happen overnight, but the hope is that by many changing their hearts and their minds, it will affect positive social change.

Your Vote can be as Powerful as Your Voice

Growing up most of us heard how important it was to vote. As election time drew near we heard MTV urging us to “Rock the Vote” as commercials, yard signs and newspapers mentioned the most important topics. Unfortunately, all of the different elections, topics and issues can discourage people from voting. However, voting is an opportunity for change and supporting the candidates and ballot measures that can help your community, state and nation is more important than ever.

Become an Ally, by Educating Yourself and Listening 

All of us should be looking for ways to educate ourselves on the topic of anti-racism and how to become better allies and advocates. We need to develop empathy by researching our past and learning how to do better.

Volunteer Your Time, Energy and Resources

As a volunteer, you choose to invest your efforts into a community and the people who live in it, however with much of the world still following Covid-19 guidelines, it might be tough to volunteer at this moment. Don’t let this discourage you from helping, because there are many places that are practicing proper social distancing guidelines as well as virtual volunteer opportunities.
