Aggregate a list of willing participants (using this form!) working at donation-matching companies (here after DMCs)
Use the BLM Solidarity Fund for donations
This will be done via this Go Fund Me account run by Moyin (grad board member, numbers wizard) and I (Google Forms expert, free time-haver). This fund exists to create a streamlined location to aggregate donations and to supersede any individual donation cap a company might have. It will allow us to spread donations among multiple DMCs and effectively maximize total $$$ sent to BLM groups, bail funds, and protest support groups.
Distribute funds and receive receipts
Donations to the Solidarity Fund will then be redistributed to individuals working at DMCs, who will send off these funds to support black liberation/protest efforts. Receipts will be sent to the centralized fund email to ensure the appropriate organizations are getting their donations in a timely manner! All receipts will be posted on a visible central platform for accountability’s sake.
Get in the streets
You’ve donated money! That’s great. Now, if you can, get in the streets. If you’re not immunocompromised and you’re able to take part in a physical protest movement, get out there. Now is the time to work to dismantle a policing system that has been committing longform genocide on Black and Brown people from its inception.
NOTE - check and see if your company allows crowdfunded donations in their donation matching !
