#HowWhitesSupportBlackLives

During the most recent civil unrest, we received many calls from white allies who are friends, family, clients, community leaders, and business leaders asking us to help them help Black lives. As such, we have participated in many conversations, Zoom meetings, corporate and industry presentations, etc. trying to address this desire to give back—to support Black lives. After weeks of research, with the support of family, friends, and experts in their fields, as well as the use of reputable sourced research—all cited below—we have developed a #HowWhitesSupportBlackLives checklist in the hope to help whites become the allies they aspire to be to the Black community. If this checklist resonates with you as you join this global movement, please share it with family, friends, colleagues, etc., as Black Lives Matter!
