language is wine upon the lips

THIS is a google doc for white and non-black poc to learn more about this movement and how they can help, without relying on black people to tell us what to do. We are here to support them and elevate their voices, they are not here to explain everything to us. This goes FAR beyond George Floyd and recent events, this is an underlying issue that we as white people need to open our eyes to and become just as active as our black brothers, sisters, and non-binary friends.

If you still don’t know how you can help, HERE is a list of 75 things we as white people can do to help. This is not a time that you can be silent and skate by on your own privilege! I understand that you may want to just let the people who know what to say talk, but you cannot go silent–your silence is detrimental at this moment. You do not need to scream to the point that you are talking over black people, but you do need to speak up in support.

And the easiest way to elevate black voices, especially if you do not have the means to donate, is to watch THIS youtube video! Make sure that you have all ad blockers turned off and that you don’t skip the ads, because 100% of the revenue from the ads will be donated to the Black Lives Matter movement, bail funds, and funeral funds–all of which is listed at the beginning of the video.
