Make sure you're educating yourself and reading articles/books/posts from black authors. Keep posting your support and calls to action. Sign petitions. Donate, if you can.
Here's one easy way to financially contribute to the campaigns, even if you can't afford to donate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCgLa25fDHM&feature=youtu.be Keep this video streaming and don't skip ads; the ad revenue is going directly to various #BLM campaigns. You can mute the video and keep it running in the background while you're doing other work on your computer too.
I won't say much more on the matter, because the focus right now should be on promoting black voices, but I wanted to make sure I shared something here so others know how to help.
Stay safe, stay strong.

Help the #BlackLivesMatter Movement From Home
I am 21-year-old author, actress, daydreamer, voracious reader, introvert, klutz, fangirl, and overuser of tape. I love the impossible (which might explain my obsessions with YA novels) but I dip into the real world . . . occasionally. I’m a big fan of dogs, Broadway musicals, and bittersweet endings. When I'm not hunched over a laptop writing a new story, you can find me onstage in whatever theatrical production I've allowed to take over my life. I am a contributor to the “Fauxpocalypse” anthology and the author of “Instructions for Flight” and “Ghost Light,” both collections of poetry. You can follow me on Twitter and Instagram at @KateIFoley.

Definitely! I wanted to share a few tips to remind people that even if they can't go to protests, they can still help. I appreciate all of the stuff you're posting on your blog and Instagram too!
