If you shared a resource on Whatsapp, consider adding it here on the app!

Let's use this post as a thread for things you shared or found helpful like links to Black owned businesses or ways to resist without boycotting or protesting.

See comments for my resources and hopefully others!

Hey y'all 👋🏾 making my way over from the WhatsApp and this is nice! I currently live in California and am interested in tech, ethics, and social justice issues but generally want to stay informed. Thanks for holding this space.
