A Collection of Resources for Supporting the Black Community
We are listening. We hear and see our Familia who make up the Black community and we see our Familia who are fiercely standing up for and taking action demanding change within our society. Demanding our country’s leadership to also take action and educating others so that everyone is protected by the institutions of our democracy.
To further support this movement, we have compiled a list of various resources from our peers, members and communities to aid in the commitment to nobility and justice.
