Educate yourself beyond the hashtags (racism doesn't stop and inequality isn’t solved when the news stops trending).
Be actively involved in the conversations circulating social media by sharing Black voices - understand that hate is born out of silence - silence is a privilege.
Remember that racism and oppression aren't exclusively American problems, they happen worldwide - Research and learn.
Have empathy.
