If you are wondering what you can do to support, this is a BIG one.

I donated to EAT (see the list). It's an organization created by Richard Wallace and his fellow organizers. Richard is an RU alum, Social Justice Award winner and Soros Fellow (and committed to social justice and uplifting Black communities). The money will be (and is) very well used.

I donated in honor of Troy Gaston, an amazing RU student, Mansfield Scholarship winner, and he was arrested without cause during the protests. Troy has been an inspiration to me and his fellow RU students since he began his studies. If you want to learn more about Troy, see the comments for a link.
