The death of George Floyd was wrong. His life was taken away. We stand for George Floyd and all black lives because they matter. They are human, they matter yesterday, today and tomorrow.. Justice needs to be served and white supremacy must end. Here are some ways that you can educate yourself more on how to support the movement to end this injustice.

This document talks about different lives that have been taken because of police brutality. It also mentioned different places where one can donate, as well as petitions. It’s not just George Floyd, but the countless others that have been lost to police brutality and white supremacy.

3. Black History Month Library 

This folder holds multiple documents that talk about the history of Black people in America. It is important for non-Black folks to do their research, educate and inform themselves of the history of Black lives in America – the true history.

These are just some of the websites that I have used to be more informed and help support. Please educate yourself and understand the injustice in this country at the time and how it must be ended.
