John,
For more than 500 years, Black people have been fighting for our freedom. We have fought back against slavery, Black codes, Jim Crow laws, policing, incarceration, some of the highest unemployment rates, consistent homelessness, dying while giving birth, being murdered for being trans or non-binary. We have been the consistent moral compass in a country that has thrived on harming the most vulnerable of its population.
On July 13th, 2013 when Black Lives Matter was officially founded, we disrupted business as usual and impacted the world in ways we never knew were possible.
Over 7 years later, we're in a place we never thought we'd be.
We've become the largest social justice movement in history,
but we're still faced with the harsh reality that Black lives are simply not valued.
That's why it's not enough to be out in the streets. We must make change at the ballot box, replacing white supremacists with those who will dismantle systemic racism brick by brick. That's why we've launched Black Lives Matter PAC. But with just days to go before the most consequential election in our lifetimes, we can't have any regrets. We've got to pull out all the stops.
The future of Black lives is on the ballot, and Black lives won't matter if we don't vote -- so, chip in whatever you can to our PAC so we can get our message across in key states this election.

We haven't seen the end of state-sanctioned violence toward Black bodies. We've got a newly-appointed Supreme Court justice who is dangerous for the futures of every marginalized community. On top of all this, we're facing a deadly pandemic that's disproportionately impacted Black communities -- and as usual, the government has been negligent in addressing these issues.
These are all the reasons why Black Lives Matter has officially launched this PAC. By taking our protest to the polls, they can't ignore us when we say Black Lives Matter. They can't dismiss us and our concerns if we vote them out, and vote the right people in.
Will you chip in $5 or whatever you can afford to BLM PAC as we work to get out the vote in 12 key states?
Thanks for your dedication and support.
In love and solidarity,
Black Lives Matter PAC
