As thousands take to the streets to fight for justice for Black Americans, Skip is committed to giving you the resources that you need to learn about these issues and take action, even if protesting is not possible or if you'd rather be at home. We are rounding up resources about how you can help fight for racial justice in your community and learn about these issues.
Free Resources on Anti-Racism
There are many freely available resources online on antiracism, police violence and more. If you'd like to learn more, you can check out this list of resources here.
Support Black Businesses
We are working on a variety of initiatives to support small businesses here on Skip, and we encourage you to do the same for Black-owned businesses in your community. You can learn about our small business support efforts here.
Here is a list of Black-owned businesses you can support all over the US!
Donate to Racial Justice Organizations
There are many organizations working on racial justice issues everywhere in the United States. Consider donating to the NAACP, the ACLU, Campaign Zero or another, local racial justice organization near you; many large racial justice organizations have become flooded with donations and are asking us to redirect donations to smaller groups.
Donate to Direct Aid to Families of Victims of Police Violence
There are GoFundMes for the families of most of the victims of police violence, to support memorial costs and the needs of their families. If you'd like to donate to Geroge Floyd's or others, here are a few:
- GoFundMe for George Floyd's family to cover funeral and burial costs; counseling services; legal fees; and continued care for his children.
- GoFundMe to provide for George's 6-year-old daughter, Gianna Floyd,
• GoFundMe for Ahmaud Arbery’s mother and continued legal support for his family
• GoFundMe for Breonna Taylor’s family, to help with legal fees and offer extra support.
• GoFundMe for David McAtee’s mother and family: McAtee was fatally shot just after midnight on June 1, after police officers and National Guard members fired into a crowd of people who were not taking part in the evening’s protests.
