People protesting with Black Lives Matter signs and masks on

There’s more work to be done. The best thing we can do right now is stay organized.

We are maintaining a list of resources for activists you can find here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PXycuYSXUUL6GuXheJyH0UUa_jGvEs8dDToIMpH6vKM/edit?usp=sharing

If you have a resource you would like to see added to this document, please email jera@jerabrown.com.

Stay Informed

Please consider following My Block, My Hood, My City, the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and the Chicago Chapter of Black Lives Matter to keep informed about further action.

What To Do Next

Useful next steps include supporting South and West Side businesses that have been hit by looting or vandalism and supporting those jailed for their participation in the protests.
