#VoiceMoneyTimeOrTalent - whiteaccomplices.org

This week's #VoiceMoneyTimeOrTalent entry is whiteaccomplices.org
This #VoiceMoneyTimeOrTalent entry is a little different. Instead of an organization, we're highlighting the website whiteaccomplices.org. It is a spectacular tool for white people to find ways for them to fight for racial justice. It explains how to go from an actor, to an ally, to an accomplice and offers a long list of opportunities for action, from protesting to self-education to art. Essentially it lists a series of ways you can use your #voice #time #money or #talent to fight for racial justice.

Please consider checking out the website: https://www.whiteaccomplices.org/
