These past few weeks have been heart breaking, and I've been filled with a combination of grief, anger, and hope. It's been good to see the progress being made by the nationwide protests, but I have a strong belief in the importance of the need for changes made in laws and policies to end the systemic problems my country, the United States of America, has been facing. And that begins with voting and supporting organizations that are making a difference.
So if you wish to do something meaningful and have the means to help, here are some organizations you can support (some of which I sourced from Hasan Minhaj and Keegan-Michael Key). Please share these links, even if you merely copy and paste.
