Instead of sharing my usual list of things I’m lusting for right now, I am focusing on what the world needs right now: love, understanding, equality and peace.
If you are financially able please consider making a donation to one of the following organizations:
Direct aid for victims’ families:
- The George Floyd Memorial Fund to cover funeral and burial costs; counseling services; legal fees; and continued care for his children
- The Official Gianna Floyd Fund, to provide for George Lloyd’s 6-year-old daughter
- I Run with Maud, raising money for Ahmaud Arbery’s mother
- Justice for Breonna Taylor, to help her family with legal fees and other support
Support for protesters:
- A Gas Mask Fund which is raising money to buy gas masks for demonstrators who’ve faced tear gas during protests in Minneapolis
- The NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which supports racial justice through advocacy, litigation, and education
- The Legal Rights Center is a non-profit law firm based in Minneapolis, offering legal defense, educational, and advocacy services
- Black Visions Collective, a black, trans, and queer-led social justice organization and legal fund based in Minneapolis-St. Paul
Sending love to you all.
