John,
It's Giving Tuesday! 🎉
This Giving Tuesday is more important than ever before as we enter into a critical year following this election. That’s why today we’re throwing the full weight of our people-power to raise awareness and money for the Bryce Brooks Foundation and The Black Panther Party Museum.
These organizations are constantly doing extraordinary work for Black communities. It's truly an honor to partner with them, and this is part of what our mission has always been—to uplift organizations and causes like these.
Now, we want to bring you into the fold of our work to support these organizations. Their work (and ours) is far from over. Especially in the new year under a Donald Trump presidency, we need to support small, grassroots orgs fighting for Black liberation—because we know they’re going to be under attack.
It's going to take a massive push from all of us to reach our goal. But lucky for us, this is not new for us. We have you, and you have always stood by us to help make the lives of our communities better than whatever the government thinks it provides. It's a reminder that WE keep US safe.
This donation form will split your donation between both organizations. Funds go directly to the organizations.
Take a second to read about the organizations that are fighting for Black lives:
The Black Panther Party Museum: The Black Panther Party Museum was established in January 2024 by the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, a nonprofit that has preserved and promoted the legacy of the Black Panther Party since 1995. They execute their mission by developing exhibitions, public programming, public art, and educational tools. They hold the largest archival collection on the Black Panther Party, housed at Stanford University Libraries, and continue to acquire artifacts and distribute information that tells the true story of the Black Panther Party.
Bryce Brooks Foundation: The Bryce Brooks Foundation is dedicated to fostering water safety and drowning prevention. Their mission is to provide free swimming lessons for adults and children and empower teens through scholarships for lifeguard certification.
According to the CDC for Black people under age 30, drowning rates are 1.5x higher than White people the same age. And according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, Black teens are 8 times more likely to drown than their white counterparts.
By equipping individuals with essential water skills and knowledge, they strive to create a community where everyone can safely enjoy aquatic environments. Through education, outreach, and access to training resources, they aim to reduce the occurrence of drowning incidents and empower individuals to become confident and responsible swimmers. Together, they believe in building a future where water-related activities are enjoyable, inclusive, and safe for all.
We only succeed in numbers, John. That’s why we need your support today! Together, we can support these fantastic organizations.
John, split a donation between these organizations by midnight tonight and help us reach our $50,000 goal.
In love and solidarity,
Black Lives Matter
