Watching what’s unfolding across the US with the Black Lives Matter movement and police brutality can feel surreal and as though it’s not our place to speak up, but you’d be wrong about that. Blackout Tuesday shouldn’t be another social bandwagon to display a blackout square because everyone else is. It should be accompanied by actions or a willingness to listen and educate yourselves if you haven’t done so already.
It’s not enough to just condemn what’s been happening to the Black community in the US, so I wanted to put together a few resources that could be helpful to those here in the UK who might not know where to start helping and supporting.
