Current Events > Can anyone recommend some charities that benefit the #BLM protests?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Already donated to my states bail fund to help protesters whove been arrested, but Im looking for others.

Anyone have particular organizations they can recommend?

Bernie sent out an email asking people to donate to these funds:

NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund is the country's top legal firm fighting for racial justice. Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, it seeks structural changes to expand democracy, eliminate disparities, and achieve justice for all. It also defends the gains and protections won over the past 75 years of civil rights struggle.

Poor People's Campaign confronts the interlocking evils of systemic racism, poverty, and militarism. As a nation we are at a critical juncture and we need a movement led by working people that will shift the moral narrative, impact policies and elections at every level of government, and build lasting power for poor and impacted people.

Color of Change is the nations largest online racial justice organization that helps people respond effectively to injustice in the world around us. As a national online force driven by 1.7 million members, they move decision-makers in corporations and government to create a more human and less hostile world for Black people in America.

The Citizenship Education Fund, founded by the Rev. Jesse Jackson, is working to protect, defend and gain civil rights by leveling the economic and educational playing fields while promoting peace and justice around the world. It is a multi-racial, multi-issue, progressive organization that is dedicated to improving the lives of all people by serving as a voice for the voiceless.

Mijente is a national hub for Latinx and Chincanx organizing that advocates on behalf of those communities as well as other oppressed communities. It has been leading the charge within Spanish language media, attempting to bring awareness and solidarity with Black-led protests and organizations. It serves as a link between many Black-led organizations and Spanish-speaking communities, participating and leading in solidarity actions in several states.

The Bail Project is a national nonprofit organization that pays bail for people in need, reuniting families and restoring the presumption of innocence. In fighting mass incarceration, they aim to secure freedom for as many people as possible and ensure equal justice for all.

Thanks for bumping this @Parappa09 . Ended up donating to NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Color of Change, and The Bail Project. Keeping this bumped for visibility in hopes that others will donate.

Im waiting for my sister to get back ate with whatever charity she looks into. I don't trust myself to know tricks of ones that have a lot of unnecessary hands in it. But Im too scared of Corona because my condition and Im an introvert, so I wouldn't be one the inspiring people there anyway. Fuckin terrified of speaking to crowds of strangers. So moneys probably more help from me anyway

The Human Fund

Tag for later.

I have no desire to protest with my family being high risk, but I do want to help. I'll look at these suggestions tomorrow. I still haven't deposited my stimulus check, I'll use that and add some of my own money and donate it some place. I don't want to dip in to my Dad's life insurance since my family will need that, but I could pull some money out of my truck savings.

This has been posted here but I'll share it anyway. Fans of indie games rejoice. Get your indie gaming fix while supporting BLM :)

I was present for Maximilian's charity stream last night - $17,000 for Color of Change ($2000 of which was from Max) before I finally had to sleep. I pitched in what I could for that and the ACLU.
