[1]Women's March

  

CW: This email discusses police violence.

John,

On Sunday night, a police officer fatally shot a young Black man, Daunte
Wright, during a traffic stop outside of Minneapolis — just minutes from
where George Floyd was murdered by police less than one year ago.

Duante should be alive today. But instead, his death at the hands of law
enforcement has ripped open unhealed wounds, and caused even more trauma
to the Black community in Minneapolis and across our entire country.

Today, we at Women's March are renewing our commitment to protecting Black
lives, defunding the police, and funding life-saving health and safety
services. This was not an isolated incident, and the resignation of this
single officer will not solve this problem. This was a predictable facet
of an inherently broken system — an entire system rooted in violence and
white supremacy. 

We must fight for Black lives and root out white supremacy whenever and
wherever we see it. That means we must organize, mobilize in the streets
and online, and invest in organizations that have made grassroots racial
and gender justice their focus. That is why today, Women's March is
calling on all of our members to rush an important gift split between our
organizing work to protect Black lives and House of GG, an organization
based in Little Rock, Arkansas, focused on nurturing the lives and
leadership of Black transgender women and women of color living in the
Deep South.

[ [link removed] ]Rush an urgent donation to be split between our organizing work to
support Black lives and House of GG, an organization centered on
advocating for trans women of color. House of GG is a small organization
that operates on limited funding, so any amount you can give will make a
tremendous difference in their work. [ [link removed] ]Split a donation →

House of GG is the first educational and historical center solely
dedicated to transgender and gender nonconforming people in the country.
Recently founded as a long-term dream of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy — a
survivor of the historic Stonewall Riots, longtime Black organizer, elder,
and mentor of the Black liberation and gender justice movements — House of
GG creates programs, services, and resources that protect the lives,
history, and visibility of transgender women, especially Black trans women
and women of color. The refuge, resources, and life-saving services House
of GG provides are essential, so we hope you'll donate to support them
today.

The work that House of GG is leading reminds us that the fight for racial
justice is ongoing, intersectional, and more urgent than ever before.
That’s why over the past year, Women's March has:

* Made calls directly to elected officials in Louisville after the
murder of Breonna Taylor.
* Hosted trainings and webinars focused on defunding the police in
cities and towns across the country. You can view a webinar we hosted
right [ [link removed] ]here.
* And created a dedicated Defund the Police resources page on our site
to empower our volunteers with the knowledge and tools to engage their
communities in crucial racial justice work. [ [link removed] ]You can find it here.

Investing in protecting Black lives is a feminist issue. By putting
resources in education, health care, child care, and decarceration – not
into a violent police system – we can support women and families and begin
to address systemic inequalities and the legacy of racism.

There has never been a more urgent time for Women's Marchers to renew our
commitment to fighting for racial justice. [ [link removed] ]Please support our work to
root out white supremacy by splitting a donation between Women’s March's
organizing work for Black lives and House of GG today. 50 percent of the
total proceeds raised today will be donated directly by Women's March to
House of GG.

There is no possibility of a feminist future without justice for Black
lives. Keep fighting.

Women’s March

P.S. It's never been more clear: We must defund the police. Additionally,
we must focus our efforts on investing in the kinds of intersectional
racial justice organizing work that nurtures the lives and leadership of
the most marginalized communities among us, including Black trans women
and women of color. [ [link removed] ]Please split a donation between Women's March and
House of GG today to directly power that work.
