On this episode of LatinEQUIS, I speak with Jeff Torres about the importance of supporting and being involved in our own communities, as well as his movie House of Demons and other projects that are coming soon.

If you follow Jeff on instagram @iamjefftorres, you will see that he has a link to a bio that leads to a google doc. That google doc includes resources for people who are seeking pro bono legal services, resources for people who can't donate or protest, tips for protestors and general social media tips for those who want to help, as well as resources for parents and teachers who want to talk about race.

As a person in entertainment who could put anything else on that link in his bio, he has chosen to put resources to teach, to be involved, even if it's in the smallest way.

And so can you, so can all of us. What's one small way you can help today?
