BY THE LUNA LUNA TEAM
Luna Luna — as a community and a magazine — believes that Black Lives Matter today, yesterday and every day going forward.
We believe that dismantling white supremacy is necessary (and that is an understatement of epic proportions). We do not believe that this is about politics but human rights, dignity, and goodness. We believe in reparations. We believe in educating white people on how to be better and to better support the BIPOC community.
Our team has rounded up resources from Black creators and writers and artists, friends, family, and organizatins so that you can donate, educate yourself and others, and share resources. Many of the links are more general to Black Lives Matters and some are specific to certain cities and resources and organizations.
PLEASE know that this is a living document, so we will continue to add to it. Tweet or DM @lunalunamag and we’ll include a resource, magazine, shop, fund, educational item, or anything else.
