HOW TO HELP AS AN ALLY: Links to shop, donate and support the Black Lives Matter movement
I have been sharing links and resources on my Instagram, but wanted to create 1 single post where I could link as many organizations and businesses as possible so that we can use the power of our voices, our signatures and our dollars. I would welcome anyone to send me additional links to businesses or organizations who you would like to add to the list. You can email me at ketointhecity@gmail.com or you can DM them to me on my Instagram account and I will get them up as soon as possible! xx jen
