As allies in the fight for racial justice, it’s important to put our money in the right organizations to enact change. We recommend giving to one of these organizations locally and to the Movement for Black Lives nationally.

Campaign Zero: We can live in a world where the police don’t kill people
by limiting police interventions, improving community interactions, and ensuring accountability.
Unicorn Riot: a decentralized, educational non-profit media organization of artists and journalists. Our work is dedicated to exposing root causes of dynamic social and environmental issues through amplifying stories and exploring sustainable alternatives in today’s globalized world.
