We stand with the Black community. Below is a directory of organizations you can donate to help support the cause, plus an amazing tweet from the Product Hunt team showcasing Black creators.

I work with a 22 year old that learned to code.
— Danny Thompson (@DThompsonDev) June 5, 2020
I was 30 when I started to learn to code.
My friend was 49 when he made the transition to tech.
I worked with a PHENOMENAL woman who was 60 when she got her job as a frontend developer!
You got this!#100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie
