More and more people in America are waking up to: white supremacy, xenophobia, anti-blackness, bigotry, suppression, oppression, and to all of the isms; basically, citizens are waking up to everything the country was built on. It's a rude awakening that can be an opportunity for incredible growth.

The desire to uphold white supremacy is an issue of empathy, awareness, consciousness, love and respect. The continued modern-day lynchings of black folks has inspired me to do more for my own community, to help in the best way I know how: through fair and honest resource sharing.

Black lives matter—every day, in all ways, always. Period. Take the pledge with us.

The challenge in today's age is to reach a conclusion about someone based on in-person interactions and experiences, not highly-enforced stigmas and prejudices.
