Black Lives Matter. Period. Last week, we saw our social media feeds flooded with black squares and commitments to do the work in solidarity to support of our black community so we learned a little bit more about this community what businesses they own and how they handle it using tools as pay stub online. This week, it is time to take action beyond social media and show our black community how much much they matter to us and show up to support.
We have been collecting resources from across the U.S. and we will be updating as new resources & links come in. Please contact us at drink@thirstymag.com with additional resources or for credit updates, let’s do this together!
