6 Ways You Can Support Anti-Racist Groups For Free If You Can’t Join The Florida Protests
With demonstrations happening across the country, you may be wondering how to help anti-hate groups if you are unable to attend Black Lives Matter protests in Florida. Donations come to mind, but you may not be in a position to contribute financially. You can watch these YouTube videos for free to support the different causes.
When you click on these videos, you'll be participating in the movement that's been credited to Youtuber Zoe Amira. She posted a video on her channel saying that all ad revenue proceeds generated from views would go towards the Black Lives Matter movement.
"Investing in our future can be difficult for young people, so 100% of the advertisement revenue this video makes through AdSense will be donated to the associations that offer protester bail funds, help pay for family funerals, and advocacy listed in the beginning of the video," she writes in her caption.
Since then, several similar videos have been popping up dedicating their proceeds to anti-racism groups. You can watch some of them below and get involved for free. Each video has a set of guidelines, so make sure you read their requirements before pressing play.
