# Black Lives Matter Resources
June 10, 2020
Hayley Hill

George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Ahmaud Arbery. Tony McDade. David McAtee. Countless others. It’s long overdue that we have the critical conversations regarding the ongoing racism and violence against the Black community, and the injustices they face every day. Knowing that this is nothing new, we took time to reflect on the work we’ve done to fight for inclusion and equality, and the work we need to do to enact a real change within our company and beyond.
We’ve been tracking the Black Lives Matter movement closely, listening to its leaders, our colleagues, and the experiences of our collective networks. Doing our research to ensure every action we take will make a real impact. As such, we’ve donated to the following three organizations:
**[Black Lives Matter](https://blacklivesmatter.com/)**
**[Campaign Zero](https://www.joincampaignzero.org/)**
**[Act Blue Bail Funds](https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd?refcode=cwg)**
We’d also like to use this platform to amplify some of the many incredible voices speaking out for justice, demanding change, and fighting for equality.
Here are some resources on how you can help. Thank you to the Black activists that have done the work to have these resources available to all of us.

| Readable Markdown | George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Ahmaud Arbery. Tony McDade. David McAtee. Countless others. It’s long overdue that we have the critical conversations regarding the ongoing racism and violence against the Black community, and the injustices they face every day. Knowing that this is nothing new, we took time to reflect on the work we’ve done to fight for inclusion and equality, and the work we need to do to enact a real change within our company and beyond.
We’ve been tracking the Black Lives Matter movement closely, listening to its leaders, our colleagues, and the experiences of our collective networks. Doing our research to ensure every action we take will make a real impact. As such, we’ve donated to the following three organizations:

**[Campaign Zero](https://www.joincampaignzero.org/)**
**[Act Blue Bail Funds](https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd?refcode=cwg)**
We’d also like to use this platform to amplify some of the many incredible voices speaking out for justice, demanding change, and fighting for equality.
Here are some resources on how you can help. Thank you to the Black activists that have done the work to have these resources available to all of us.
