As a way of remembering the lives of black people like George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others, both in recent and distant history, they encourage people to support Black Lives Matter, Tucson Reparations, Tucson Second Chance Bail Fund, and to explore anti-racism resources online.
