Content Warning: This email discusses recent high-profile cases of police
murder and brutality.

Indivisibles,

The United States’ history is 400 years of white supremacy, of devaluing
Black lives and Black bodies. Most recently, we’ve seen horrifying footage
and reports of police officers murdering George Floyd and Breonna Taylor
-- just two in a heartbreakingly long list of Black victims of police and
state-sponsored violence.

Over the last week and a half, the uprisings across the country have
reached a nearly unprecedented scale and scope, with protests and actions
in every U.S. state and territory and several countries around the world.
The world is watching what the United States will do to keep communities
safe from the crisis of police violence.

Like racism, the movement against police brutality, the movement to
protect and value Black lives, and the movement to dismantle white
supremacy were around long before 2016 and long before Indivisible was a
twinkle in anyone’s eye. And frankly, as a new and mostly white-led
organization with mostly white supporters, we have a responsibility to
center Black voices, and those who’ve been doing the work for years.

One of many ways that we can show up is by funnelling resources directly
to Black-led organizations doing the work on the ground to support the
uprising and developing strategies and campaigns to advance racial
justice. We’ve set up a page where you can do just that -- [ [link removed] ]click here
to learn more about the organizations we’re supporting and make a donation
to fund their work. 100% of your donations will go straight to these
organizations doing work nationwide to combat police brutality and
dismantle white supremacy.

These organizations are far from the only groups doing vital and impactful
work on the ground, and we encourage you to seek out local efforts in your
area to support as well. [ [link removed] ]This Google Doc, put together by Reclaim the
Block, is a great resource, and you can find many more on social media.
Leaders in your [ [link removed] ]local Indivisible group may also know of organizations
doing important work in your area.

Whether you’re donating to a bail fund, delivering supplies for a local
action, putting your body on the line at a protest or march, holding
leaders accountable for change, having tough conversations with friends
and family -- we all have a role to play in mobilizing for Black
liberation. There is no time to wait.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team

P.S. -- This is the first in what we hope will be a series of
“IndiGIVEable” emails where we reach out asking you to support other
deserving organizations. We do this because we know we are part of a
broader movement, and we frankly aren’t always the right people to lead
particular work and we want to support the people who are.
