"I learned that the Oakland Fortune Cookie Factory, a 60-year-old company run by Alicia Wong with her parents and her husband Alex Issvoran, specializes in custom fortune cookies; Wong—who grew up in Oakland and attended predominantly Black schools—says the protests have made her realize that being 'not racist' is not enough and that people need to be explicitly anti-racist, and despite a 60-year-old window being smashed during early protests they publicly stand in solidarity, creating Black Lives Matter–themed fortune cookies with famous civil-rights quotes and donating a percentage of proceeds to the NAACP and the Innocence Project, with Issvoran noting that a broken window is "no big deal" in the larger context." - Luke Tsai
