This is for the people who feel hopelessly uneducated & feel they can't jump in when racists appear to fight their friends.

If reading dozens of books by PoC authors/other experts feels daunting, you can literally start with wikipedia because you have to start learning somewhere

I'm not saying it's the perfect source (no source is really a perfect source, multiple sources is better), but you MUST start somewhere if you want to help your friends.

Just go down that wikipedia rabbit hole. Click on the link to something else you knew nothing about

That isn't to say don't read the books and the links and the other things by PoC authors and experts. You absolutely should. But if you need to ease yourself in slowly or book purchases aren't in your budget this month?

WIKIPEDIA

Another way you can help is just to jump into the fray with memes. I had @aionimica back me up with fallacy memes the other day. She didn't need much previous knowledge to do that.

Don't be afraid to get creative like that. Knowing someone has our back is SO reassuring

If you want change to happen, sitting there silently agreeing with BIPOC and other minorities is really not enough. We need you to scream along side us, even if you don't have the right words.

Make your voice known.
