  • What to do instead of calling the police – When you see harm being done when you worry for your safety when you feel your rights are being violated? What do you do instead of calling the police?

  • No White Saviors – an advocacy campaign led by a majority female, majority African team of professionals based in Kampala, Uganda. They use their Instagram platform to educate followers on the White Savior Complex and the variety of African perspectives on liberation. Through Instagram, they catalyze much-needed conversations, prompt reflection and accountability, deliver important resources and often-ignored viewpoints, highlight our partners who are doing work on the ground, and raise support for grassroots African initiatives.

The tools and content provided on their website can support those who have experienced trauma at the hands of police and prevent future interactions from turning violent or deadly.
