Background: “The Necessary Trouble Toolkit makes it simpler for new advocates to confidently and sustainably join the fight to end police brutality,” says Sola Biu. “Civic engagement is incredibly complex in the United States, which makes it tough to understand where to begin. Our research indicated that a lot of people want to create change but feel uncertain about the next, most impactful step to take. In response, we created an actionable learning resource that decodes the process for new advocates, and for people who want to self-educate and take an active stand against police brutality.”
