| Andrew, It's no exaggeration to say that you're the backbone of this movement. We couldn't do it without you. We're a grassroots abolitionist movement dedicated to fighting for Black liberation and that makes us really unpopular with a lot of different audiences including the far-right, internet trolls, and more. That makes you being a supporter even more special. You're the reason why our movement is here to stay and why we've been able to accomplish so much already. Our work is far from over, and we hope you're going to continue to be with us in the new year. As a small token of our appreciation, we would love to send you a mystery item of merchandise. This mystery shipment could include anything from a mug, to a pin, stickers, a T-shirt, a polo, or a jacket. Just sign up here and we'll send you one completely free 🖤 Make sure to act fast, we have a limited amount of merchandise that we can send out and signing up isn't a guarantee that you'll receive one. It's first come, first serve! We appreciate you, today and every day, Andrew. — Black Lives Matter P.S. Don't forget to split a donation with these two incredible organizations today—we set a $50,000 goal this Giving Tuesday but we're extending it by one more day: | Bryce Brooks Foundation: The Bryce Brooks Foundation is dedicated to fostering water safety and drowning prevention. Their mission is to provide free swimming lessons for adults and children and empower teens through scholarships for lifeguard certification. According to the CDC for Black people under age 30, drowning rates are 1.5x higher than White people the same age. And according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, Black teens are 8 times more likely to drown than their white counterparts. By equipping individuals with essential water skills and knowledge, they strive to create a community where everyone can safely enjoy aquatic environments. Through education, outreach, and access to training resources, they aim to reduce the occurrence of drowning incidents and empower individuals to become confident and responsible swimmers. Together, they believe in building a future where water-related activities are enjoyable, inclusive, and safe for all. The Black Panther Party Museum: The Black Panther Party Museum was established in January 2024 by the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, a nonprofit that has preserved and promoted the legacy of the Black Panther Party since 1995. They execute their mission by developing exhibitions, public programming, public art, and educational tools. They hold the largest archival collection on the Black Panther Party, housed at Stanford University Libraries, and continue to acquire artifacts and distribute information that tells the true story of the Black Panther Party. |
