Thank you for this post. I want to further it as well to say that solidarity posting is an important first step, but taking action is the next. People generally still have trust in museums as institutions and look to museums to learn. While an exhibit is one way to teach (and the way most museums are likely comfortable with), providing resources and giving a platform to organizations that are in this space (hopefully that you already have a partnership with) is another way that can be more immediate.
