Start the Conversation
For most people of color, this conversation is very familiar. Mass shootings and racism should never be normalized, yet the headlines seem to show otherwise. Speak with your loved ones about what steps can be taken to protect yourself and family as well as the roots and consequences of racism. For non BIPOC people, utilize the resources provided and stand in solidarity against racism.
