The death of George Floyd at the hands of a white Minneapolis police officer has sparked protests against police brutality and racial injustice worldwide. These protests are not just about George Floyd’s death, or even the deaths of Breonna Taylor or Ahmaud Arbery.

This kind of violence is not new. Activists and individuals have been working for a long time to raise awareness and effect change. The visibility of this moment has led many people who haven't been involved in the past to ask: What can I do to help?

On this episode of Talk of Iowa, Charity Nebbe speaks with activists and educators including School of Social Work alumna Dionna Langford (2013 BASW) about how to make a difference for racial justice and take action.
