The murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis last week sparked a global movement of activism, learning and introspection. White police officers brutalising and killing unarmed black people with impunity is nothing new, but the reaction can be. By investing in causes that support people of colour, educating ourselves on insidious and everyday forms of racism and examining how we benefit from privilege, the systems of oppression that led to Floyd’s death and countless others before him can be dismantled.

Below are a list of resources that contribute directly to this cause. From petitions, donation pages, essays and books, these represent the proactive choices that are now more urgent than ever.
