James Scully Instagram – If you’re as disturbed by the news of police brutality, institutionalized racism, and wanton double standards in this country as we all should be, please consider any of these options for getting involved. .
.
You can donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which combats harmful (race based) incarceration by paying bail for low income individuals. “Pay-to-play justice” should not be the way in a country where “innocent until proven guilty” and “the right to a fair trial” are supposed to be the standard.
.
You can text “Floyd” to 55156 to demand that the ex-officers who *murdered* an innocent man are held responsible for their actions.
.
You can follow the link in my bio to a google doc which contains MANY Anti-Racism resources for white people looking to actually help. (Thank you @alyssavingan and @sarahsophief for creating it) .
.
You can educate yourself on the prison industrial complex, the connection between police and the “runaway slave patrols” they descended from, and our country’s long history of destroying black people’s lives for profit. .
.
You can do so many things besides saying “I’m sorry that’s awful”. I have been as guilty of performative allyship as the next white person but that doesn’t actually change anything. Thank you to @shirien.creates for this artwork, and to everyone working at these organizations. | Posted on 29/May/2020 20:40:23
