Following the tragic murder of George Floyd in the U.S., who died a victim of police brutality, Black Lives Matter protests have been taking place in cities across the world to demand justice for his passing.

As a result of the movement—which was originally founded in 2013—gaining worldwide momentum, it has rightfully widened the discourse to shed light on the acts of police brutality and racial violence towards Indigenous Australians within our own country.

And while many of us have felt helpless in outrage, there are things we can do—and must do—to both stand with Indigenous Australians, and in solidarity with the U.S., supporting the wider Black Lives Matter movement.

Along with donating and protesting safely, one of the biggest ways in which you can support the Black Lives Matters movement is to proactively be an ally to people of colour at all times.

This means taking the initiative to educate yourself on racial injustices, intersectional feminism, and doing the work to understand the forms of privilege you may possess.

Make a point of consuming literature written by people of colour on the topics of racial inequality and white privilege, diversify your social media and news feeds to increase representation and make sure you are taking in a variety of voices and opinions—then use your voice to speak up.
