Other small things that can really help are acts like checking in with friends and family members to see how they’re coping. Try to engage in difficult conversations with people, being challenged is a good way to broaden your knowledge and understanding.

Please keep safe, wear masks and gloves, if you’re attending any protests.

Remember, these are just suggestions and anything thing you can do will help the cause. Educating ourselves is key to becoming anti-racist.
