Wildflower Baking

There are many things you can do right now (and continue to do forevermore) to unlearn and dismantle racism.

We have thought a lot about how to respond in this moment as a baking business. Nothing short of radical policy change will be adequate but we have decided to encourage people to do their own research to find out what the Black community needs right now. This is part of doing the work.

In solidarity, we will be offering a pack of rye resistance shortbreads to anyone who signs up for reoccurring monthly donations to anti-racist organizations. This could be as little as $5 a month, a small step that can make a big difference. The focus is on the continued act of resistance.

And this is something we will continue to do forever because we want to reiterate: this is not new, this is not going to be “done” if the protests move out of your attention span, this is an enduring, lifelong fight that needs sustained commitment. Pledge a monthly reoccurring donation to an organization dismantling systemic racism, get rye resistance shortbreads.

I’ve tagged a few organizations to start out with, but there are many many more. Do your research, don’t be afraid to be uncomfortable, stay vigilant. Remember, your comfort is NOT the priority here.

But don’t stop there. Turn to Black educators like , and . Buy Black art. Support Black owned businesses. Follow local Black women in food like and .

Find all those lists that people are rattling off on Instagram and print them out to put them on your fridge.

Let people know you’re actively anti-racist. Normalize it. Let it become part of your identity. We’re all going to make mistakes doing these things, but that is how we progress. Try and fail and fail BETTER.
