Filipina/o/x for Black Lives
in the heart stories stands in unity with Black Lives Matter.
As a non Black WOC, I recognize the privileges that I hold, a personal one of them being not having trouble/being questioned by security/the authorities. I also hold a sense of safety and comfort in the neighborhoods and communities that I frequent. And it pains me that this is not the same for the Black community. With all that is happening in the US, it is important to be unite against racism and the injustices of the Black community and dismantle anti blackness in the Asian Am community and break the cycle of colorism. Please take a moment to sign the petition, call the MN government, donate to Black Lives Matter, MN Freedom Fund, or any organization doing good. I also found these resources helpful: 20+ Allyship Actions for Asians to Show up for the Black Community Right Now, Letters for Black Lives
