A lot of us have actually made a webcomic ring called Chimera Comics after we left hiveworks: chimeracomics.org
This isn't the full list as some artists want their hands completely washed of the situation, but this is a start!

A reminder that ICE is two and a half years younger than Zion Williamson. It was created four months *after* "Lose Yourself" hit #1.
Its roots are still an inch deep, and we must excise them.
Its roots are still an inch deep, and we must excise them.
ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.
Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

If you have any funds to spare and want to help Minneapolis right now, getting dash cams to observers is crucially important and especially after today
ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims.
Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!
