As the title suggests, we watched Sly Stallone's 1976 character-driven sports drama, Rocky. But first: we support Black Lives Matter and the fight to defund, demilitarize, and dismantle the police. The following resources have been helpful to us and we hope they will be helpful to you.
https://defund12.org/ makes it really, really easy to "email government officials and council members to reallocate egregious police budgets towards education, social services, and dismantling racial inequality via this crowd-sourced tool."
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case-for-reparations/361631/ links to a 2014 essay by Ta-Nehisi Coates that should (continue to) be read and shared widely
https://www.communityjusticeexchange.org/nbfn-directory is a state-by-state directory of bail funds you can donate to in support of protesters and other people currently being targeted and arrested.
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ab_mn?refcode=innocenceproject allows you to make one donation through the Innocence Project which you can split b/w several national groups - also allows you to choose one or several groups to put your money towards.
https://blacklivesmatter.com/chapters/ will help you find your local BLM chapter so you can join in protests or get involved to whatever capacity you're able.
