The Ebonistas support those affected not only by the murder of George Floyd, but the countless black men, woman and children that have perished at the hands of those sworn to serve and protect all communities! While our allies are using their bodies to protest these injustices, we understand that there are many of us looking for ways to get involved.
This week, we decided to join the world in honoring those black women, men and children that died at the hands of law enforcement. The following names are only a small fraction of that demographic. While your support can be shown in many ways, from protesting, to promoting social awareness we ask that you take a few moments to recognize those who lost their lives and acted as martyrs for this cause. These deaths have had a tremendous impact on all of us and we would like to honor their memories and lives.
Please go to the Ebonistas IG, Facebook page and blog at Ebonistas.com to find out ways that you can help and raise awareness.
Again, you can lend a helping hand through monetary donations, supplies for the communities that are in the midst of protests and/or calling your state and local representatives. Most importantly we encourage you to use your voice during the upcoming elections. Please stay safe and know that together we can be the change that we wish to see in the world.
