How do you handle conversations on police violence and racism?

It can be difficult to know where to start with such a traumatic issue. There’s a lot to unpack here, and the emotions that come up during these conversations can get overwhelming.

But it’s crucial that we keep talking about police brutality – and figure out how to care for and sustain ourselves along the way.

So here’s a list that can help you do just that. These are some of our top articles with information on structural racism, white allyship, self-care for Black folks, and more.

We hope this resource can help you find the words for your conversations on police violence, fill in the information you don’t understand, and respond to people who just don’t get what’s going on and why the movement for Black lives needs our full support.

Keep it handy, pass it on to the other folks in your life who could use this, and let’s all build on our collective power to take down the systems responsible for racist police brutality.
