Actions You Can Take Now

• Write to media outlets and confront them on their intentional or

unintentional perpetuation of white supremacy by the ways black images are depicted, described, and framed. Examples are calling black protestors “thugs” while white armed protestors as “patriots.”

• Use your professional or academic expertise to convene forums and

panels that provide discussion, exploration, and reflection on structural, historical, and systemic racism.

• Share a list of helpful resources (like this one)
• Share ideas on how we may support the community and engage in

antiracist efforts.

Thank You Take Good Care
