Blackout Tuesday is a movement the music industry is taking part of to disconnect from work and connect back together with the community. The movement was founded by music executives Jamila Thomas and Brianna Agyemang. Streaming services, record labels, musicians, actors, community leaders, and people across the nation are participating in the blackout by providing information on where to donate, support and find resources.
Below is a list of how you can help and get involved in the movement.
