15 items of action you can take from home

There are a variety of reasons why protesting in person is not the best fit for people. Here are some things you can do from home.

1. If you can, donate. I made a list of 15 places to donate, but there are many other great places out there to donate to as well!
2. If you would like to donate, but aren't in a place to, watch this video (all ad revenue is donated): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCgLa25fDHM&list=PLI4P_52MInKaTQN-JVml-Qda6Zg8fwaL_&index=1
3. Sign Color of Change petitions: https://colorofchange.org/campaigns/active/
4. Sign the Stand with Bre petition: https://www.standwithbre.com/#petition
5. Sign Change.org petitions (I am sure there are more than these, but here are 4): 
1. https://www.change.org/p/district-attorney-tom-durden-justice-for-ahmaud-arbery-i-run-with-maud?signed=true
2. https://www.change.org/p/mayor-jacob-frey-justice-for-george-floyd?source_location=discover_feed
3. https://www.change.org/p/andy-beshear-justice-for-breonna-taylor?source_location=discover_feed
4. https://www.change.org/p/pleasant-grove-police-department-dismiss-the-charges-on-marshae-jones-and-charge-the-one-who-shot-her-and-her-unborn-baby
6. Call/email/fax for justice for Breonna Taylor
1. Mayor Greg Fischer: (502) 574-2003, greg.fischer@louisvilleky.gov

7. Sign the NAACP petition and send messages to your reps through the NAACP: https://www.naacp.org/campaigns/we-are-done-dying/
8. Sign Black Lives Matter petitions: https://blacklivesmatter.com/petitions/
9. Follow activist organizations on social media (this way you can hear from them about other actions you can take). Here are a few, but there are more:
1. Black Lives Matter: https://www.facebook.com/BlackLivesMatter/, https://twitter.com/blklivesmatter, https://www.instagram.com/blklivesmatter/
2. NAACP: https://www.facebook.com/naacp/, https://twitter.com/NAACP, https://www.instagram.com/naacp/?hl=en
3. Southern Poverty Law Center: https://www.facebook.com/SPLCenter/, https://twitter.com/splcenter?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor, https://www.instagram.com/splcenter/?hl=en
10. If your city has police officers in public schools, see if your city is evaluating its police contract. The Minneapolis public school board recently voted to terminate its contract with police and you may be able to encourage your school board to do the same.
11. Sign the Run With Maud petition: https://www.runwithmaud.com/#petition
12. Join your local Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) chapter: https://www.showingupforracialjustice.org/surj-network.html
13. Join your local Indivisible chapter: https://indivisible.org/
14. Contact your own representatives. Exactly what you ask for will vary by where you are, but you can ask for release for protesters, groups to oversee police accountability (here is info about Chicago's push: https://www.caarpr.org/stop-police-crimes), a ban on tear gas, and support legislation (such as Rep. Omar and Pressley's resolution condemning police brutality or the VoteSafe Act, which calls for mail-in ballots for the 2020 election)
1. Find contact information for your representatives: https://www.commoncause.org/find-your-representative/addr/
2. Fax your congressional representatives: https://faxzero.com/fax_congress.php
3. Fax your senators: https://faxzero.com/fax_senate.php
4. Fax your governor: https://faxzero.com/fax_governor.php
15. Share any forms of action you know of (my list is certainly not complete)
