Racial Justice Campaigns You Can Participate in Right Now

New/Mode emphatically opposes and condemns the actions of the police officers in Minneapolis who murdered George Floyd, along with many other Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour who have disproportionately been victims of police violence and systemic white supremacy in the U.S., Canada, and elsewhere.

To make it easier for people to mobilize and act on the urgent needs arising from this crisis of hate, and in-support of global protests, we’ve compiled a round-up of live campaigns. ⬇️
