Hi everyone.
We’d like to take this moment to express our support of the protests happening across the United States and solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. We stand with those demanding justice for the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and the countless other Black people who have been victims of police violence and white supremacy.
Today, in lieu of our regular music coverage, please check out the following links to various fundraisers, causes and actions, as suggested by a few of our writers:
- List of Black Lives Matters Chapters
- Movement For Black Lives Week of Action
- Black Visions Collective (Minnesota)
- Reclaim the Block (Minneapolis)
- Justice For Breonna
- Louisville Community Bail Fund
- Demand funding for Phoenix Civilian Review Board
- List of Bail Funds Across the United States
- The End of Policing by Alex S. Vitale — e-book version currently available for free from Verso Books.
By no means is this list exhaustive, but hopefully it provides a starting point for those looking to help. We encourage you to donate (if you’re able), get involved in demanding action from your local governments, and educate yourself and others on what needs to change, and how.
We’ll resume our scheduled coverage tomorrow.
Take care.
