If you’re unsure of where to donate, I encourage these!
I’ve researched and donated to the following causes:
The Marsha P. Johnson Institute
Why? To protect and defend the human rights of black transgender people.The Pōpolo Project
Why? To support Hawaii’s black community through educational/cultural learning opportunities, community events.The Okra Project
Why? To provide meals for black trans people, cooked by black trans chefs.The Trevor Project
Why? To support the mental health of black LGBTQIA+ youth.The Loveland Foundation
Why? To provide opportunity, access, and healing for communities of color, with a focus on Black women and girls.
Split a donation between 70+ community bail funds, mutual aid funds, and racial justice organizers
Why? Most of these funds directly impact those currently being affected by unjust protest-related arrests across the country, right now. Initially created to split donations between 37 different BLM bail funds, it has since been expanded to be split amongst other great BLM-related efforts, as well.
