Black Lives Matter Resources:

Below are google docs, sheets, and large list resources. I have been seeing a lot of resources out there, so I wanted to organize the ones that I have come across in one place. I have organized some of the independent resources in the sidebar. If I am missing anything, you can DM me @ava.obj on instagram.

This is by no means a comprehensive list, stay active and continue to research ways to be involved. Additionally, make sure you are always researching who is recieving your donations and petition signatures.

From the article “An Artists Guide for not Being Complicit With Gentrification”, we believe these are great first steps. To read the full article, please see our link in bio. - - “Art becomes alienating when entities and individuals refuse to acknowledge their personal and structural impacts that contribute to gentrification and white supremacy. The critical voice of the of the artist runs the risk of becoming lost when it is instrumentalized in the processes of displacement. What if we see our role as artists as being deeply tied to the heal of our neighborhoods?” - from the authors, Heather M. O’Brien, Christina Sanchez Juarez, and Betty Marin. See tagged the organizations in Logan Square and Pilsen (slide 3) to get involved in the struggle for housing equity here in Chicago. If your org is not tagged, please comment the name in the comments and we will add you for folks to get involved. - - #chicagoartists #gentrification #decolonize #decolonizeart #decolonizechicago #blm

these times of seemingly rapid change are built on the foundations of years, decades and centuries or organizing and struggle . especially done by the people most affected by oppression . that means Black, Indigenous, POC Femmes, Disabled folk, Trans and Queer folk . and accomplices that put their lives, resources, security and privilege on the line ... as the protests enter their third week, I am seeing so many folks in the clinic exhausted, unable to sleep, shaken up by what they have witnessed protesting on the ground, or seen on their phones, or experienced in their neighborhood ... unable to stop because there is so much to be done . the mutual aid work and jail support and emergency fundraising and petitions and hard conversations and processing and past traumas resurfacing . let us take a moment to hold that we must keep going, just as much as we must pause to restore our minds, hearts and bodies when needed . because this is the work of a lifetime . no . of many lifetimes . and we need you and can't afford to burn out ... all of it is needed . the one on one conversations the letters and phone calls the workshops and skill shares the digital organizing the politicized work of healers, teachers, journalists, farmers, lawyers and artists the books and articles and research papers . the precious care work of feeding and cleaning and listening and tending to spaces and people . the quiet moments of reflection and self-accountability ... it takes all of us it takes all of us it takes all of us 💙💛💜
