At Coop, we are committed to racial equality as a basic human right. We advocate for the equal treatment of all individuals—specifically for Black people, whom our nation has robbed of so many basic human rights since its beginnings.
Supporting a movement can’t just be a fleeting trend—it’s a continuous effort that we are actively pursuing. Here are some resources to educate yourself on race, racial justice, and the Black experience, as well as ways to help the Black Lives Matter movement.
