Systemic racism: Prisons, predatory lending, and polluters

Donating. Spending. Investing. One of the most powerful mechanisms we have to address systemic racism is our wallet. For starters, there are various organizations focused on the issue (linked below). But, it’s also crucial to understand how certain industries actually profit from systemic racial injustice, and whether or not they're in your portfolio. The below video covers several players, namely private prisons, predatory lenders and polluters, that have a profound impact on exacerbating racial inequality in America.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
