John,

Earlier this month, we highlighted the importance of uplifting Black voices and organizations, not just during Black History Month but all year round.

The NAACP’s mission of equality and fairness is vital to ensuring that Black Americans can overcome centuries of systematic barriers that continue to oppress them.

Donating to the NAACP helps make sure they can continue this critical work. So if you can, please donate to the NAACP today.

John,

The first celebration of Black History Month in the U.S. took place in 1970 at Kent State University. More than 50 years later, we continue to honor Black individuals who've contributed so much to our lives.

It is not enough to spend this month honoring Black historical figures while our country continues to ignore and beat down Black people every day.

We must commit every day to uplifting Black voices and ending systematic racism.

Supporting organizations like Black Lives Matter is vital to that commitment. So please, if you are able, donate to Black Lives Matter today.
