I didn’t want to post this until I had done the research into the resources that it is seeking to support. Please see below a list of organisations and campaigns that donations can be made to go some way to bring justice to the racist systemic practices that have been in place for far too long. I am still educating myself and will continue to do so behind the scenes but I will also be posting some resources and articles to my stories should these be of help.
@changedotorg - Sign the petitions and donate
@colorofchange - #justiceforfloyd #justiceforbre - signatures and donations
@gofundme - Search for the Official George Floyd Memorial Fund
@bailproject - donations go towards helping people post bail who can’t afford it
@nationalbailout - from their website where you can make donations - “a Black-led and Black-centered collective of abolitionist organizers, lawyers and activists building a community-based movement to support our folks and end systems of pretrial detention and ultimately mass incarceration.” @blklivesmatter - Official Instagram account for the #BlackLivesMatter Global Network - you can donate at www.blacklivesmatter.com
I also want to share some Black-owned sustainable businesses that I would encourage to check out, follow and show your support:

Sending love to you all, today and always.
