HOW TO HELP: Full List of BLM Resources (SHARE!)

This week I decided to take a break from the endo content because there are more important things going on. I have seen a lot of different links and other content across all social media on how to help the Black Lives Matter movement and I thought it would be nice to have them all in one place. This is a world issue and it takes people from all backgrounds fighting for the common goal to make a difference. I strongly encourage you to share this post and do what you can to help the BLM movement. If you don't have the ability to give money, there are so many other ways to help! There are many things we all can do and if we all choose things off this list, we can start to make a difference.
