Resources for the Movement for Black Lives Matter
In light of the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, we here at Peachy Keen recognize that it is our responsibility to use our platform in the hopes to create change. Inspired by the actions of others and spurred by personal reflection, our team’s hearts are set on growth and education. We are committed to engaging in conversations, reading literature, listening to others, and supporting the Black community however we can.
With growth comes an opportunity to share with you all what we have been doing, and invite you to be a part of something much bigger than yourselves - change. Below you can find several resources that we have utilized, including petitions as well as various organizations and funds to donate to. We encourage you to be a change maker! There are numerous influential activists emerging, and we have chosen to include a handful that we have been truly impacted by. Our team shares these individuals with the hope that you listen to them, learn from them, and are inspired by their boldness and tenacity. In addition, we have compiled a list of Black-owned businesses that you can support as well - their talents and artistry are truly something to be marveled upon and we hope that you find a brand (or two) to fall in love with.
If you have any resources that you recommend, please feel free to contact us! As always, thank you for reading, Black Lives Matter!
