First things first, John: Thank you for your continued support—it means the world. We *truly* could not do what we do without everyday people like you supporting us in the fight for Black liberation.
That’s why we don’t take it lightly when we ask you to support our movement work. While we know it may seem like we ask for support a lot, it’s because we’re constantly growing and scaling our work.
But here’s the thing: we don’t expect everyone to be able to contribute every time we ask.
It’s important to us that people are only contributing what and when they can. Sometimes you may be able to give $5, another time you may be able to chip in $2, and sometimes support may look like opening and reading an email or adding your name to a petition—and that’s okay! This is what a grassroots movement truly made of everyday people looks like.
We’re coming to you as the Trump administration takes a wrecking ball to the country in the form of sweeping executive orders that impact everything from Medicaid funding to birthright citizenship. Our work is important right now, and it’s only possible with your support. If you’re able to contribute, it truly matters in this moment.
That’s why we’ve set a goal of raising an additional $15,000 by January 31st at midnight.
Can you make a contribution of anything you can afford today to help us reach our goal?
As a reminder here are a few of our priorities your donations will directly support:
💰 Loan repayment micro-grants for Black student alumni and HBCU students.
🏘️ Putting dollars directly into the hands of the Black community — like our $1,000,000 contribution to the Black-owned businesses at the innovative Black Panther building in West Oakland, CA. To date, we’ve moved over $35,000,000 in grants.
❌ Fighting to abolish the prison industrial complex and hold police accountable.
🌱 Showing up at and hosting events like Invest Fest to uplift and support Black economics, joy, arts, and creativity.
If you’re in a place to, can we count on your donation today?
Whether you donate today or not, thank you for being a part of the Fam!
—Black Lives Matter
Our grassroots movement is pushing for Black liberation every single day. We are striving to create a world where Black people do so much more than just survive. It’s time we thrive.
As an organization one of our biggest hurdles is consistency.
A recurring contribution of anything you can afford goes a long way as we plan for the months, years, and even decades ahead. This is the most effective way for small-dollar donors (like you) to power our Black liberation work.
Will you make a recurring contribution of $5 or more today so that we can keep building momentum for our movement?
