I just wanted to know if anyone had suggestions on how to support BLM and assist our African American neighbors . We need to become engaged and woke to the new reality. The reality of the oppressed people among us.

Gpsma - I'm sure your heart is in the right place. But I look at the demographics living just outside of The Villages. There are so many people and families below the poverty level. So I donate and contribute to the local Food Pantry. I donate to provide both food and uniforms for Wildwood students. I also give to numerous local "drives." The people who are recepients... some are white, some are black, etc. Why would I assist only black neighbors, when the local need is broader than that?
