## Abstract (arXiv)

In response to a national and international awakening on the issues of anti-Blackness and systemic discrimination, we have penned this piece to serve as a resource for allies in the AI community who are wondering how they can more effectively engage with dismantling racist systems. This work aims to help elucidate areas where the AI community actively and passively contributes to anti-Blackness and offers actionable items on ways to reduce harm.
