There’s power in this movement, team: We’ve raised more than double our initial goal for racial justice, and now we’re ready to double it again.
Help Ilhan, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raise $200,000 for these organizations by rushing in a donation of $10 right now. Every dollar raised will go toward lifting up the Twin Cities community.
Thank you for standing in radical solidarity with the Minneapolis community.

Subject: Stand up for racial justice in Minneapolis
Friends,
I am heartbroken and horrified at the needless death of George Floyd — another innocent Black man murdered by police in Minneapolis. Frustrated that we keep finding ourselves in this position as a city and a country. Angry that justice still seems out of reach.
In pivotal moments like this, we must uplift the people and organizations on the ground doing the critical work to rebuild our communities, like Black Visions Collective and Reclaim the Block. So Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and I are coming together to raise $50,000 for these two Minnesota-based organizations to stand up for racial justice.
Will you speak out with the Squad by donating $10 or whatever you can toward our $50,000 goal?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will immediately be split between Black Visions Collective and Reclaim the Block:
It’s not enough to fire the police officer who killed George Floyd — he must be charged with murder. And on the grassroots level, we must take collective action to dismantle the racist institutions that allow devastating acts of violence like this to keep happening.
Stand up for racial justice with the Squad by donating $10 or whatever you can to raise $50,000 for Black Visions Collective and Reclaim the Block.
Thank you for speaking truth to power to demand the justice we so desperately need.
In radical solidarity,
Ilhan Omar
