BLM at PLS

Plant Love Stories (PLS) is a movement to share love of plants and people. We stand with the protesters demanding an end to police violence against the Black community and institutional racism.

Black. Lives. Matter.

We have found the following resources helpful and are sharing them to encourage the Plant Love Stories community to get involved. The only way the system will change is if we make it.
