SOCIAL JUSTICE CAUSES
~ TO MY COMMUNITY ~
This page is a living, breathing organism. I will be updating frequently with petitions to sign, literature to read, organizations to get involved with both locally and globally, as well as general information about Los Angeles social and civil rights issues.
I stand in solidarity with those defending our right to protest peacefully, to end police brutality, to address and dismantle the systemic racism that is deeply embedded into the foundation of this country. The streets are not for everyone. There are so many other things you can do. Petitions you can sign, calls you can make, books you can read, donations to contribute and educational documentaries so you can help support yourself while you unpack the details of the American Black experience.
Please reach out if you need support. Together we have more power. I love you.
