Protests across London have demonstrated how serious its citizens feel about implementing systemic change following the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minnesotan police. Can’t protest but still want to show your support? We urge you to donate to these fantastic London anti-racism charities and use our frequently updated list of directories connecting you to the city’s black-owned businesses. If you did make it to the protests, do share your historic photos with Black Cultural Archives here.
