Take Action Sonoma County
OUR PURPOSE.
We are a small collection of concerned parents, educators, and activists in Sonoma County who were deeply moved by the heinous crimes against Black men and women. This is a pivotal moment in time where people have gathered across the world to stand up for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others against police brutality.
Police brutality is fueled by racism and has been throughout American history. Addressing the causes and effects of both racism and police brutality can seem overwhelming; anti-racist activism is a monumental task that requires mass action and solidarity.
As protests sweep across the United States, many people want to help but feel overwhelmed or uncertain as to how to proceed. The scope and depth of the issue is complex. It is difficult to figure out where to begin.
The goal of this website is to consolidate information on police brutality and its impact, as well as provide information on what you can do, right now, to be part of the mass action needed to change our country for the better. This website is not meant to provide an entirely comprehensive view of racism and police brutality; instead, it is meant to provide an overview of key issues, with links to additional information. While we are not experts, our goal is to connect you with a variety of leaders in this grassroots, youth-led movement. We are inspired to empower people to join in and offer their support to communities of color in Sonoma County.
