Racial Justice is an LGBTQ Issue
This week we're talking about Charlottesville and the violence surrounding the white supremacist rally "Unite the Right." This week, we're talking directly to the white folks about why racial justice is an LGBTQ issue. To act: * Join Safety Pin Box (https://www.safetypinbox.com/),a monthly subscription box for white people striving to be allies in the fight for Black Liberation. Box memberships are a way to not only financially support Black femme freedom fighters, but also complete measurable tasks in the fight against white supremacy. * Donate to the Southern Poverty Law Center (https://www.splcenter.org/) * To directly impact Charlottesville, donate to the C-Ville Anti-Racist Legal Fund (https://fundly.com/solidarity-c-ville-7-8-anti-racist-legal-fund) or support the Black Student Alliance at the University of Virginia (https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1535/16-uva/index.aspx?sid=1535&gid=16&pgid=1199&cid=2383&dids=409&BLEDIT=1)
