The world is watching.

The world is watching our actions as we work to build a more equitable future for the Black community worldwide.

Last year was marked by protests across the world. From the protests calling for an end to systemic racism across the United States, UK, Canada, and more, to the protests against police brutality in Nigeria. The Black community and our allies are standing up and we are making our voices heard. While each of these movements has been led by individuals working to bring the larger Black community together, each of us has people around us that inspire us to get involved and to speak up.

The United States will celebrate Martin Luther King Jr Day on January 18^th. For many it has become just another holiday. However, it is important that we recognize the importance of celebrating the work that leaders within the Black community have done historically and in the present day - contributions both large and small.

As members and allies of the Black community, realize that no contribution is insignificant. The Support Black Charities directory has over 60 organizations that need our support from volunteering time and expertise, donations of items and money, and simply spreading awareness. We all have something we can offer to build a better future for the global Black community.

We would love to hear who has inspired you to give back, to stand up, to work towards a better future. Share with us either by responding to this email or tagging us on social media! (Instagram: @supportblackcharities | Twitter: @supblkcharities)
