since i’m from the uk + probably have quite a few followers from the uk, i thought i’d gather some ways we can support black people in the uk atm (this is not comprehensive, just things i have come across, will probably add to + encourage others to add to!):

• donate to black minds matter uk who are currently crowdfunding to offer free therapy sessions with black practitioners to as many black individuals + families as possible atm - donate here + their website with more info on is here 
• donate to uk black lives matter here
• donate to this fund in memory of belly mujinga, a railway worker who was spat at whilst at work + later died of coronavirus. the money is going towards supporting her family, including her 11 year old daughter
• donate to uk black pride here 
• donate to this crowdfund which is raising money to support black-owned publishers committed to inclusive publishing - the crowdfund ends in 8 days (10th june)

WRITE TO YOUR MP! u can use this website as an easy way to find your local mp + send them a message - remember to include your address so they know you’re one of their constituents. a couple of things you could include in your message to them:

• demand the immediate suspension of uk sales of teargas, riot shields + rubber bullets to the US - see this article for more info about this
• ask them to respond to the DELAYED release of the report into BAME covid deaths + demand the government do more to tackle the death rate - you can read the report here
