EP 116. Black Lives Matter. Take Action (Jen Glantz) - a podcast by Jen Glantz

I will never understand the pain and suffering that the Black community is feeling right now and has felt for hundreds of years. But I do believe that Black Lives Matter and I won’t stay silent.

I’ve been looking within, listening and taking action.

To my Black friends and friends of color: I’m here for you. I will continue to check myself & educate myself, and do the work to check those around me. I won’t stop. Your pain matters, your voice matters, your life matters.

This isn’t an empty promise. I’m taking the hours I spend mindlessly on social media and using that time this week to educate myself, listen to the teachings of those in the Black community, and take action both locally and through the donations I’ll make to organizations all over the country.

Change starts within each of us. It starts with taking steps. With putting action behind our words. I will take action. I will support. I will fight for the Black community.

Here is one resource to help fuel conversations, change and action: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PrAq4iBNb4nVIcTsLcNlW8zjaQXBLkWayL8EaPlh0bc/preview?fbclid=IwAR3Kwelc7kmKHSuQC7FSbNmxUyZL1aaIbenksVuFGHqOTrHJYug9vcB3xgU&pru=AAABcqN0HDM*EwbCp-1ACPm1MtML05C1TA
