I won’t post the unfathomable amount of videos of police violence emerging over the last two weeks here directly (find a few hundred here if you want to) to let people engage this topic at their own pace but let’s recognise that if you’re white–like me–it’s one of our privileges that we have that option. Many others do not have that luxury as they are confronted with them on a daily basis.

Please consider helping in whatever way you feel like you can. May it be by donating, being a vocal supporter or even just by continuously educating yourself. None of us is perfect and that’s ok. We can all still learn a lot, me included, by making an effort to listen. Don’t let up. This is working.
