Act To Change for Black Lives Resources
With the recent police murder of George Floyd, the militarized response to local demonstrations, and the deaths of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others, Act To Change firmly demands justice for the innocent Black lives lost — and an end to the systemic racism, violence, and hate that have plagued our country for far too long. Check out the resources below and to help fight and end hate and racism.
