What humane human beings can do:
1. Stop denying racism exists.
2. Be educated on racism as a grave issue of prejudice, harnessing and abuse of power, and manipulation of privilege.
3. Commit to being informed about systemic issues and about the daily devastation of racism.
4. Pay attention to those who say they are being violated by systemic racism and discrimination.
5. Care.
6. Study the global and national impact of racism and white supremacy.
7. Honestly examine systems constructed with and infiltrated by racist ideals.
Examples: Healthcare, education, criminal 'justice' (school to prison pipeline, prison industrial complex), housing…
8. Study and quote #MLK to facilitate justice and true peace, NOT to maintain order as a form of false peace. Injustice is never in order.
9. Be open to understanding the "interconnectedness" of humanity. Think higher than one group "winning.” How can humanity win?
10. Decide on one system impacted by racism that you will work to change. Work on it.
11. Don't be a racist. Give due spiritual, emotional, mental, and practical diligence to not being a vessel for hate, bigotry and racism.
12. #ChooseNonviolence. It's not merely a tactic, but a way of living that helps create a more just, humane, equitable, and peaceful world. #MLK
