We Are The Adults Now
Hi loves <3 In this episode, we talk about Black Lives Matter and what you can do to help. There are a LOT of ways to help, and we encourage you to do as many as you can. Protest, share, educate, organize, donate, and petition - we need to create a movement and it's time to use your voice and platform to make a difference. Have conversations. Realize your implicit biases (we *all* have them!) and work on them. We're the adults now. Let's create meaningful, effective, positive change together.
Sign Petitions! Text Floyd 551-56 to get a link to change.org to sign the petition or go to https://www.change.org/p/mayor-jacob-frey-justice-for-george-floyd
