This video was filmed a few weeks ago, and while it feels empty to share a video in a difficult time such as this, we thought we could take this opportunity to continue the momentum to support Black lives and voices, to speak up for justice and equality, and to stand against racism and injustice of any kind. Below we'll share with you some resources we have found helpful as we have been learning (and unlearning), alongside resources that have been recommended to us by our families, friends and/or community members.
Note: some links have been shortened to save space, which is why you might see bit.ly in the URL.
