OUR GRANTEES
OUR STORY
This is not just our opportunity - it is our obligation.
Anti-black racism that seeds systemic disparities, fuels violence, and prioritizes property over life is a tragedy in which each of us has played a crucial part. It is imperative that we do our part – to take it apart, piece by piece. We must uphold a contract which cares for, honors, protects and empowers black and brown lives. This movement, these protests, this march, this roar, is not for the preservation of life, it is for giving life back.
