Black Lives Matter

John,

This is it! Equity Week begins TODAY, and Saturday's Rustin Reflecting Pool Gathering is just 3 days away.

Today, NBJC's Equity Week 2025 begins in Washington, D.C., and we need you there for Saturday's historic gathering at the Reflecting Pool near the Washington Monument at 12 PM.

The numbers don't lie:

  • 800+ registered advocates ready to take the Hill

  • 50+ meetings confirmed with Congressional offices

  • 1,000+ expected marchers for Saturday's Bayard Rustin March

  • National media coverage confirmed for all major events

This is the largest mobilization of Black LGBTQ+/SGL advocates in recent history.

Will you be counted among us?

HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T PUT BOOTS ON THE GROUND:

  • You miss the chance to directly lobby your representatives

  • You miss the historic Bayard Rustin Equity March

  • You miss connections with 800+ fellow advocates

  • You miss being part of the change our communities desperately need

HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT BOOTS ON THE GROUND:

  • Your voice joins a powerful chorus demanding justice

  • You help make the Rustin Reflecting Pool Gathering a powerful moment of reflection and recommitment

  • You network with advocates from across the country

  • You return home energized and connected to ongoing campaigns

The choice is yours. The time is now. We need boots on the ground.

REGISTER FOR SATURDAY'S GATHERING →

Can't make it to D.C.? You can still support by:

  • Sharing this registration link with 5 friends!

  • Posting about #EquityWeek2025 on social media

  • Making a donation to support travel scholarships

This is our moment. Don't let it pass you by.

With urgency and hope,

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?

Black Lives Matter imagines a world where Black people across the diaspora thrive, experience joy, and are not defined by their struggles. In pursuing liberation, we envision a future fully divested from police, prisons, and all punishment paradigms and which invests in justice, joy, and culture.
