I've been going back and forth on what to say about the events of last week. Like so many others, I am shaken to my core with sadness and at a loss for words. I remind myself, however, that in order to be part of the solution you must educate yourself as well as you can. The more you know, the more prepared you are to help. As you continue to read and inform yourself on the Black Lives Matter movement and on eliminating police brutality against POC (people of color) remind yourselves of these five images.

1. Questioning the system does not make you Anti-Cop.

2. You can be white and support Black Lives Matter.

3. Check your privilege.

4. Guns aren't only for black people.

5. Black Lives Matter.
