Many of us have adopted children of color. We have all seen many many black men, boys and women become victims of police brutality.
We cannot stay silent about what is happening in the black community in our country. We need to stop being silent and make a change to the systems that oppress and murder people of color.
This is not just for parents of children of color. This is for everyone! We all need to talk to our children about race and we all need to do our part to dismantle the systems.
Here is a list of resources and a starting point to make a change and educate yourself and others on what is happening and how you can make a difference.
