A place where I'll continue updating with links to the people / organizations that I find who are accepting donations in direct support of the ongoing protests for Black Lives Matter and racial justice around the US. For those who can afford to, I'd like to encourage helping these brave people out because these demonstrations are a big part of creating tension to drive meaningful change right now. Thank you!!

I began compiling this list around June 25th, 2020 and am not including funds that have been inactive for over a month. If you know of anything I should add on here, please let me know! πŸ™
