Five Social Media Accounts to Follow to Further Your Anti-Racist Education, and How to Support Them

by Hannah Amini

Social media, for many, is a respite during hard times. But, in the midst of a revolution, there’s no longer a place to use it as such.

As allies, it is our responsibility to take the initiative to search for anti-racist readings, petitions, and donation sites to put our time and funds into. If you’re having a hard time getting started, we’ve gathered up some of our favorite resources who have been guiding us through this movement, along with ways to support them for their labor.

22-year-old Dom Roberts’ distinctive graphics have been shared all over social media. She has covered topics ranging from social media etiquette to white fragility in digestible swipe-throughs on her feed and in-depth IGTVs.

How to support: Dom is creating a tee with her most memorable phrase: “Don’t ignore something because it makes you uncomfortable.” All proceeds are going to Black Visions Collective and Reclaim the Block. Keep posted for a presale date by following The Uncomfortable.

Millenial Black began as the official instagram page for author Sophie Williams’ upcoming book, but it has since turned into a hub for anti-racist resources. 

How to support: Head to The Millenial Black charity shop for prints, tote bags, stickers, and more. All profits made will be donated to charities fighting racism.

Good Humans Only wants to create a world of people who give a f*ck. Founder Karli’s goal is to address how privilege comes into play in the self-help industry and to make healing a collective issue.

How to support: Good Humans Only is selling a print on Redbubble and donating 100% of the proceeds to Black Lives Matter.

Black America, you are our sisters and brothers and we will ALWAYS stand with you. Please know that. Sharing some wisdom from the ancestors to carry us onward toward actualizing justice & carrying out the revolution. . “Concerning nonviolence, it is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks.” – Malcolm X . “Anger is better. There is a sense of being in anger. A reality and presence. An awareness of worth. It is a lovely surging” – Toni Morrison . “If you want to understand any problem in America, you need to focus on who profits from that problem, not who suffers from that problem” – Dr. Amos Wilson . “Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them” – Assata Shakur . “Freedom is not something that one people can bestow on another as a gift. They claim it as their own and none can keep it from them” – Kwame Nkarumah . “I was going to die, sooner or later, whether or not I had even spoken myself. My silences had not protected me. Your silences will not protect you” – Audre Lorde . “The only thing that white people have that black people need, or should want, is power-and no one holds power forever”. – James Baldwin . “One of the greatest things I fear is letting down my people.
