Hey there -- we wanted to make sure you saw Gavin’s email yesterday. You can read it below.
We have a lot of work to do to address the systemic racism that continues to persist in our society, and that work starts now.
If you can, split a donation between the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, The Marshall Project, and the Advancement Project -- organizations working to end racial injustice -- so we can rout out systemic racism in our institutions large and small.

Folks,
Millions of people are lifting their voices in anger -- rightfully outraged at the systemic racism that persists in America.
The Black community is not responsible for what's happening in this country right now. Our institutions are responsible -- and we are accountable to this moment. People have lost patience because they haven't seen progress. We’re seeing that frustration manifest in the streets right now.
If we’re going to rise to this moment, we need to take collective action. It takes change at every level.
Which is why today, I’m asking you to support a few organizations, which are working to end racial injustice:
-
The Marshall Project
-
NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund
-
Advancement Project
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Our state and nation must build from this moment -- united and more resolved than ever -- to address the reality of racism and its root causes.
Thank you.
Gavin
