In the past three days, protests demanding justice for Black victims of the police have swept the country. They were initially triggered by George Floyd’s violent death in police custody in Minneapolis. However, they’ve unleashed outrage over a series of tragedies, including the death of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia, when he was shot by two white men who walked free for months; Breonna Taylor, who was shot in her home in Louisville, Kentucky by police on a botched raid; and Tony McDade, a Black trans man killed by police in Tallahassee, Florida.

From Ohio to Colorado to Minnesota to New York, protesters are calling for criminal punishments for involved cops and voicing their outrage at decades of state-sanctioned violence against Black people. Demonstrators have been met with tear gas and rubber bullets and hundreds have been arrested around the country. Community groups are teaming up to care for those injured or jailed as a result of the protests, and supporting families of the victims.

Here’s where you can donate or find ways to help out in every city.
