We write to share with you a 
#STRIKE4BLACKLIVES Call To Action (
https://www.particlesforjustice.org/) on Wednesday, June 10. It is a global day of action for non-Black academics to “reflect on their own complicity in anti-Black racism in academia and their local and global communities”, and we urge all of you to join in the strike, alongside us and many others. We urge you to read the call to action in full, but here is part of it:
“We are not calling for more diversity and inclusion talks and seminars. We are not asking people to sit through another training about implicit bias. We are calling for every member of the community to commit to taking actions that will change the material circumstances of how Black lives are lived – to work toward ending the white supremacy that not only snuffs out Black [scientist] dreams but destroys whole Black lives. In calling for a strike, we call on people who are not Black to spend a day undertaking discussion and action that furthers this work, while providing Black scientists with a day of rest. Every single institution around the world can and should get involved in this work, and the strike marks an opportunity to recommit to the humanist values which should underpin academic work, including the belief that Black Lives Matter.”

Additionally, there are multiple Wikipedia Edit-A-Thons that you can take part in on Wednesday.
