Black Lives Matter

In solidarity with communities of color— especially the Black community—that have been disproportionately affected both by the current pandemic and centuries of racism, violence, and injustice, we will not be posting original content this week. It’s too important right now to listen and contribute to the critical conversations taking place in real time. This moment calls on us—especially white Americans—to work harder to understand and dismantle racism. Here are some resources that our team has found helpful:
