Civic Resources
Now–more than ever before– we listen, we educate ourselves, we reflect on our own shortcomings, and we take actions that will create a safe and just future for black and brown communities. We demand leadership that will commit to a formal process of healing and reconciliation, and draft bipartisan legislation to increase police accountability and deliver justice to all the victims of state sponsored violence and racism.
We have put together a list of resources to help us all become more informed as we engage in civic action. Swipe up for access, and please don’t hesitate to reach out with comments or suggestions for what we can add by emailing chelsea@jungmaven.com.
