BLA(C)K LIVES MATTER

/ Featured, News / By

WE STAND WITH ALL PROTESTERS, with all those who fight against a deeply unjust system. We demand justice for those murdered by the state. We believe in reparations for Indigenous people. And we want to put our money where our mouth is. To that end, at the start of June 2020 we made an initial contribution to Sisters Inside Inc from our own funds. In addition, for the months of June, July, and August 2020, we donated all proceeds from sales to a selection of the funds listed below. For the sake of transparency, our monthly updates provide more complete details about our donations.

Furthermore, we ask that you, dear readers, consider donating to any (or even many!) of the worthy causes listed below. If you don’t have the means to donate money, consider liking/following any (or all!) of the pages linked below. We highly encourage everyone to learn as much as they can about these issues.

UPDATE FOR JUNE 2020

For the month of June, all proceeds from sales have been split equally between the following four funds for families seeking justice for loved ones that have died in custody.

UPDATE FOR JULY 2020

For the month of July, all proceeds from sales have been split equally between the following five state-based Aboriginal Legal Services.

UPDATE FOR AUGUST 2020

For the month of August, all proceeds from sales have been split equally between the following six funds. We are outraged and disturbed by the recent outcomes of the inquests into the deaths of Tanya Day and Tane Chatfield, both of whom died in custody. We wish to support their families in the face of these continuing injustices.
