As part of our commitment to our audience, and in the wake of protests across the country surrounding the murder of George Floyd, we have provided an expansive list of resources that can help better educate, open up the conversation, bring awareness, and contribute to the fight for equality and justice.
Below is our list of resources, including podcasts to listen to, books and articles to educate yourself with, national level petitions to sign, and organizations and potential causes you can donate to.
