Day 6: Break a Barrier!

Buzzfeed News article: How white people can support people of color now,

1. Don’t ask your friends — or random internet acquaintances — of color to #process everything with you.
2. If you want to reach out to your friends of color to ask about how they’re feeling, it's ok, but don’t force a conversation.
3. Invest your energy into having difficult conversations with white people around you.
1. That's our church conversation I mentioned in an episode earlier
4. Amplify the work and words of the most marginalized people.

5. Intervene when you see harassment happening.
1. We must speak into the circles of influence that we have-- Be bold and strong to speak up against anything degrading or disrespectful to others.
6. If you’re going to engage the country’s ongoing protests, do so responsibly.
1. It's your right-- but don't violate someone elses rights while you are doing it.
7. Get involved for the long haul.
1. It's not just the summer of 2020. No-- this problem isn't going away quickly-- it took nearly 400 years to get this far-- It will take decades of consistent and diligent attention to truley change.
8. Remember to stay vigilant (and patient).
