Make it a habit to do nice things for Black people. Random acts of kindness can go a long way.
Stop and film the police when you see them interacting with Black people. Your presence may save a life.
Make an effort to call in the “casual racists” in your life. Notice I said “in,” not call them out. Talk to them. Don’t be afraid to do the work.

Donate to bail funds for trans folks. They face even more danger than cis folks when incarcerated. lgbtqfund.org
Realize that no one is truly free until everyone is free. The fight for justice is intersectional. Sexism and classism need to be dismantled, too.
Learn what misogynoir is and then read about it even more. Consider this: Black slave women were tortured and experimented upon in the name of gynecological research. Fast forward to now and we are more likely to die during childbirth. WHY?
