You can also donate to local nonprofits and community organizations that help to fight injustice on a local level. Some organizations in Houston include: The Houston branch of the NAACP, Black Lives Matter Houston and Restoring Justice. Some organizations in Austin include: Austin Area Urban League, Six Square and Austin Justice Coalition.

Support also comes in the form of signing petitions that can help institute change. There are a ton of petitions you can find on Change.org that take very little of your time to sign but can push a petition that much closer to its goal. 

Lastly, educate yourself, friends and family on the importance of the BLM movement. There are a ton of books, movies and scholarly articles you can find that talk about racism and an unconscious bias. Help to start a conversation that can spark change, even within yourself.
