After Watching, Learning, Listening, and Grieving: Action

Over the past few weeks, the nation has turned their intense sadness over the unjust deaths of more and more Black people at the hands of the police into unprecedented action. Like many white people, we, the founders of Gild Collective, have been unsure of how to respond, how to react, and how to move forward as agents of change that elevate the Black community. We have been watching with open eyes, learning as much as we can (including a lot of re-learning what we thought we already knew), listening to Black voices, and grieving for and with Black communities.

More than anything else, we have been thinking about how we will commit ourselves going forward to anti-racist action and Black community support. How will we take action?
