When Meetup comes on board and says \u201cyou\u2019re right, we need to help you amplify this message\u201d, it\u2019s so encouraging, so empowering, not just for myself but for our members too.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>What has been the biggest impact of the Black Justice Network for you?<ul><li>Jasmin: As a new organizer, it has really helped me reach out to other network organizers to see how they are doing, how can we collaborate with other projects and joining other sister circles.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Any advice for organizer who are considering joining the Black Justice network?<ul><li>Christina: The work we do as activists can be really lonely and sometimes really disappointing. My advice is to encourage other organizers to join. Because organizers need support too.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top Q&amp;A Questions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>What is the best way for white women to show support without speaking over or for the black community?<ul><li>Christina: Allies are so important at this time. First, listen. Some people think they can\u2019t join our brunches because it says beautiful brown girls. All are welcome to attend. That is an awesome opportunity to just listen and know, &#8220;where do I fit in? And how can I help?&#8221; It\u2019s a great place to start.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>I live in New Zealand. Are there non-financial ways to show support for this black justice cause?<ul><li>Jasmin: Use your gifts to help. I love to talk, I love activism, I love mental health so I used my gifts as a platform to help the cause that I have always been passionate about. If you like to cook, cook and send food, if you can organize, help organize another organization, everybody has a gift. Whatever you love to do, do that for an organization that is uplifting the black community and investing in the black community.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>How do I join the network?<ul><li>The <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/pro\/black-justice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Black Justice network is here<\/a> and you can see all of the current groups that are in the network.<br>Whether you already have a group you\u2019d like to apply to join or you want to start a brand new group, you can reach out to apply us by emailing: BlackJustice@meetup.com<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\"><p>Meetup communities are focused now more than ever on racial equality. <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":3435,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[127],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
