Hi John,

We recently celebrated an extraordinary milestone — Elaine Brown, a formidable force and former Chair of the Black Panther Party, turned 81! Despite the years, Elaine’s dedication and commitment to our collective struggle for freedom has not diminished and remains as fervent as ever.

Today and every day, we are grateful for Elaine's leadership. That’s why tonight in Oakland, Black Lives Matter is hosting a celebration to commemorate her life and achievements.

To add a personal touch to this evening's celebration, we're compiling messages from supporters worldwide. We invite you to express your wishes and reflections by signing our digital birthday card.

This is a unique opportunity to express your admiration for a true revolutionary. Your words have the power to affirm the impact of her lifelong dedication to our cause. I will have the privilege of sharing your heartfelt messages with Elaine tonight. Let's make sure she feels the immense love and respect we have for her unparalleled legacy. Sign her birthday card here: happybirthdayelaine.blacklivesmatter

Tonight at the celebration, we'll also be announcing the details of a groundbreaking and exciting partnership our Black Lives Matter team and Elaine have been hard at work cultivating since last year. We can't wait to share the details with you! This partnership is more than just an honor; it's a testament to the legacy and resilience of organizations like the Black Panther Party.

After I get off the stage, I will text the big announcement and the partnership details to folks who are signed up to receive text messages from Black Lives Matter. You can sign up for texts when you sign the card!

Shalomyah B, Black Lives Matter
