A CALL TO ACTION

A CALL TO ACTION

Dear BEETxBEET community,

Social justice has been an important part of BEETxBEET’s ethos since it began and remains prominent during the climate of our nation today. I stand with the Black Lives Matter movement and encourage you to do your part in using your platform or voice in support of our brothers and sisters who need it most. It’s time to get educated and get uncomfortable with yourself, friends and family to create change. Below are some resources that I hope you can find helpful. Please share and add in the comments if you have resources to contribute.
Be safe. Rise Up.
