SPEAK UP
When you witness racism in everyday life, speak up. Don't know what to say? Check out this guide: Responding to Everyday Bigotry from SPLC.
AMPLIFY
Take an active role in desegregating our social media networks. If you're white, statistics show that your network is likely 92% white. Follow us on social media and share, and follow people of color and amplify their voices.
