#BlackLivesMatter #WeDoHeal
We’ve survived a long, painful week that’s an extension of a year that’s challenged us to our core. We need healing. We need justice. And that requires action. Systemic change requires prolonged effort, but we can also make an immediate difference for frontline communities. I launched this Black Resilience Fund as an opportunity for non-Black allies to support the resilience of Black people in our very own community. In four days, the Black Resilience Fund has provided $48,153.81 in immediate support for Black Portlanders, including a warm meal, groceries, and unpaid bills.
Our goal is to raise $1,000,000 by Juneteenth (Freedom Day), and we will continue to increase our goal as we raise funds and identify immediate needs of Black people in our community.
