 A few months ago I joined the Free Radicals, an incredible community of scientists, science educators, activists, and community organizers who operate at the intersection of science and social justice.
We are currently calling on scientists to support #BlackLivesMatter and the abolition of our anti-Black policing system, critically consider their roles in the struggle for Black liberation, and donate. Learn More About The Project Also, follow Free Radicals on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook for daily content updates. I hope that you consider reading through our social media threads and/or donating — Free Radicals is matching donations to $6000+! |
