| Andrew, Donald Trump—who is convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records tied to hush money payments—is going to be our next President. Now, what happens to the average everyday person if they are convicted of a felony in America? They would lose their right to vote, their right to receive financial aid, the ability to hold public office, housing access, and more. But Trump is allowed to be President again — that's f*cked up. Right now, we're preparing for the wave of messed-up bullsh*t that Trump is about to bring. And that means we must be prepared to fight back every step of the way for however long it takes. Can you help us have the resources we need by committing to a recurring monthly donation of any amount today? We know that Black and brown people are disproportionately impacted by systems of incarceration due to systematic racism and white supremacy. We systematically have our realities and futures stolen by the prison industrial complex and all who prop it up. Despite the actual legal wrongdoings of the incumbent President, his racism, the racist comments his entire circle proclaims (like when one of his former top advisors said at his New York Madison Square Garden rally, "America is for Americans and Americans only"...what could sound more white nationalist than that??), and the blatant lies, he is continually handed opportunity after opportunity. The simple truth is that he can get away with all this because he is a rich white man in America. The systems work so blatantly in his favor because they were built that way. We refuse to accept a world where a man like Donald Trump can be President while Black formerly incarcerated and incarcerated brothers and sisters are barely afforded human rights. The journey towards a world where Black people have everything they need, without relying on the criminal punishment system to keep us safe, must start now. Whatever comes next, we need to be ready. Your monthly support today will help us do just that as we continue to fight for our collective future. We are committed to building a movement for Black liberation that will outlast any presidency. In solidarity, Black Lives Matter
Our grassroots movement is pushing for Black liberation every single day. We are striving to create a world where Black people do so much more than just survive. It's time we thrive.
As an organization one of our biggest hurdles is consistency.
A recurring contribution of anything you can afford goes a long way as we plan for the months, years, and even decades ahead. This is the most effective way for small-dollar donors (like you) to power our Black liberation work.
Will you make a recurring contribution of $5 or more today so that we can keep building momentum for our movement? |
