9 Ways to Support The Black Lives Matter Movement from Italy

Since the murder of George Floyd a week ago in the United States, there have been numerous anti-racist protests in major cities in the United States and around the world. From Washington to London, from Berlin to Paris a huge number of activists gathered to call for justice against the four American policemen who made this heinous act possible. The movement is not limited to physical protests, but includes major online initiatives, petitions, and fundraisers in support of protesters, members of George Floyd's family, and other anti-racism nonprofits. On the contrary, it cannot be emphasized enough as for these initiatives, often organized by the communities themselves and therefore with clearer and more precise goals than the institutional institutions, any donation helps much more than any post or message of solidarity on Instagram – especially if you can not be physically present at the protests.

For this reason, nss magazine has composed a list of resources to support this cause, not only for the case of George Floyd, but also for those concerning the cases of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery as well as for other organizations fighting racism and police brutality in the United States.
