Call to Action: Black Lives Matter

from She Explores · host Gale Straub

We want to leave room in your week and your podcast feed for Black Lives Matter. Escaping to the woods, while restorative and wonderful for reflection, won’t effect change. This is a time to listen and learn. This is a time to amplify Black voices. This is a time to vote, to donate, to sign petitions, to march, to protest. This is a time to support Black businesses, educators and organizers. Pay it forward. There’s a whole lot of power in all of those things, especially if we’re all committed today, tomorrow, and every day after.We compiled some resources, books to read, podcasts to listen to, and Black women and women-led organizations to uplift and support. This is by no means a complete list, but it's a start.Resources: Ally Resource Guide: This guide includes: 1) Where to register to vote 2) Ways to donate 4) Petitions to sign 5) Reps & offices to contact 6) Antiracism resources to listen to, read, and watch 6) Other Antiracism resourcesAntiracism for Beginners75 Things White People Can Do for Racial JusticeAntiracism Resources for White-Led Organizations Rachel Cargle’s Monthly 30 day Course: The Great UnlearnListen:Our Spotify Playlist of Podcast Episodes for Education Books to Read:These Books Can Help You Explain Racism & Protests to Your Kids (via New York Times)An Antiracism Reading List (via New York Times)Me & White Supremacy by Leyla F Saad (purchase even if you find a PDF out there) Awesome Twitter thread on Black-owned bookstores SUPPORT/AMPLIFY/FOLLOW Black Women and Black Women-led Orgs in the Outdoor/Environmental Space Note - please give them space and don't DM them right now with your questions.
