Salutations,
I want to jump right in before we start this list and bring attention to something that is of significant weight and urgency. The leadership team at Carbon Trace Productions is responding to the ongoing racist events this week and countless other weeks.
The murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breyona Taylor, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Tony McDade, and too many others weigh heavy on our hearts. We have been donating, signing petitions, and some attending protests. We want to encourage you to do the same. Here is what is going on in for us in Springfield, Missouri.
Here are some of the links we recommend giving to financially.
Support George Floyd’s family
Donate to the MN Chapter of the ACLU
Help rebuild communities
