Below, Black community activists and their allies share how to turn your empathy into action in the wake of police brutality.

Now more than ever is the time to take action to support Black, Indigenous and other people of color ― even if you’ve been slow to get involved in the past.

(The group Perkal is involved with, Showing Up For Justice, is a perfect example of that: They’re a nonprofit that works to bring more white communities and people into multiracial, antiracist movements for justice.)

In the clip, Elliott asks an audience of mostly white people a very, very simple question: Would you want to be treated like a Black person in America?

“Then you can show up at the police precinct and let the chief of police know you are outraged by the treatment of Black people,” she said.
