White people,
At this point you should have your Black friends' cashapps, PayPals,etc memorized. Write them on Post-Its & put them on your wall, refrigerators, mirrors. Include them in the chat boxes for family zoom calls. Have your children recite them back to you.

Instead of asking us how we're doing, ask your white and non-Black friends how much money they gave Black people today. And don't pretend like those conversations are insensitive, you talk about and hoard money all the time. Just be real about it.
Ask how many resources your friends/ family members are willing to extend to support a more equitable world (that Black folks are already building).
Set money aside.
Write us into your wills.
Co-sign for loans.
Purchase groceries.
Give us that land.
