    [Guest Discussion & Thoughts About BJC Event]

    • Guest discussion/interview.
  • List of allyship actions that you and your family and friends can take right now:
    1. Set aside 3 hours a week to educate themselves on what it means to be an anti-racist
  • Next time you hear a racist joke, don’t laugh, ask the person to explain why it’s funny
  • Read one educational book about anti-racism, police brutality, or white supremacy before the end of the summer.
  • Either teach 3 people the meanings of White Saviorism, Environmental Racism, and Gentrification--or learn the meanings for yourself!
  • Have an educational anti-racist movie night with your family or friends once a month for the next twelve months. Research the director/producers’ intentions when creating the movie.
  • Spend money at a black owned business at least once a month for the next twelve months.
  • Vote in every election.
  • Listen to Black artists, but don’t just listen, spend time researching the history of Black music (and the ways it’s been appropriated).
  • Lift up Black voices on social media, make an effort to follow Black creators and activists, give them credit when you share their content.
  • Start educating your children! One way to do this is to read your children at least one book by a Black author a month
  • Share this list of actions with other people you know learning about this work.
