California Black Freedom Fund’s Post

The Black Resilience in Colorado Fund (BRIC) is heartbroken for everyone affected by the devastation caused by the Los Angeles County wildfires. And, as the fires continue to rage, we are yet to understand the full scale of destruction. In response, BRIC's peer fund, California Black Freedom Fund, and California Community Foundation have partnered to launch the Black LA Relief & Recovery Fund. This fund will support community organizations on the ground working to meet the immediate and long-term needs of Black communities displaced by the wildfires. Historically Black communities, especially in Altadena and Pasadena, have been hit particularly hard by this disaster. These neighborhoods – once places of promise and opportunity for middle-class Black families unable to purchase homes in other parts of LA because of racist covenants and redlining – are no longer. Our communities need us now more than ever. Join us in standing with directly impacted Black communities by donating at www.pledge.to/BlackLA or texting BlackLA to 707070. #GiveBlack #CommunityUnity #BRICFundCO #LosAngeles #Wildfires #Altadena #Pasadena

Celebrating Black Philanthropy Month: A Call to Action August is Black Philanthropy Month, a time to honor and elevate Black philanthropy throughout history and today. It's a moment to recognize the impact of giving within Black communities and explore meaningful ways to support causes that make a difference. I might be biased, but Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS)/USA is a powerful way to celebrate and contribute! JRS is dedicated to serving refugees and displaced people globally, with a strong focus on Africa. Programs provide emergency assistance, healthcare, mental health and psychosocial support services, education, and livelihoods training to those in need, embodying the spirit of compassionate and impactful philanthropy. Here’s how supporting JRS aligns with the goals of Black Philanthropy Month: ♥ Global Impact: JRS’s work directly benefits communities in 58 countries by providing essential services and support to those displaced by conflict and crisis. ♥ Empowerment Through Education: JRS educational programs offer refugee children and adults a lifeline, giving them the tools to rebuild their lives and create brighter futures. ♥ Commitment to Human Dignity: JRS’s approach is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves respect and a chance to thrive, reflecting the values of equity and justice central to Black philanthropy. Let’s celebrate by making a meaningful impact by supporting JRS’s initiatives in Africa through the gift of education, advocacy, volunteering, or spreading the word about JRS’s impactful work. https://lnkd.in/ehcVnig3

“Since 2021, the Federation has helped our community obtain more than $6.3 million in national Nonprofit Security Grants.

Patronizing a black business is not charity. Stop acting like you’re doing them a favor. The value system of black business needs to change.

If you are able to offer assistance, whether through volunteering or monetary contributions, here is a well-organized document containing valuable resources and actionable ways to directly support families in need.

We are hearing directly from social sector leaders about the impacts of recent attacks on race equity and DEI more broadly. Join for this important conversation!

🚨I’ll be real with you, I really want this book, my first released with a publisher, to be a New York Times bestseller, but that March 11th release date feels so insignificant now with everything that’s going on in the world. For example, this week we’ve all seen the damage those wildfires have caused to our family in the Los Angeles region. So yeah, I planned to announce the release of my book today with 60 days until its release, but truthfully, I don’t feel right asking you to purchase a copy unless you are also committed to donating to Black families that have been displaced in Altadena, CA. If you can’t afford to do both, PLEASE make the choice to donate. My book can wait. At its core, the message of my book is this: After dealing with a hate crime that went viral online, and fighting for justice, I reflected and realized that by studying the true stories of my history throughout my life, I was able to gain pride, ambition, self-determination, the strength to fight, and the realization of the importance of community. In short, my book informs us that during this moment we must come together to support each other like we always have, because those in power likely won’t. So, check this out, to donate to Black families in Altadena, check the comments for a link. After that’s done, you can check those same comments for a link to purchase my book if you choose. Thanks for all of your support thus far. If you support me, it’s imperative that you show support to my broader community as well. 🚨ONE MORE THING: If you choose to support this release, please explore purchasing my book through an entity that is NOT Amazon. For example, a Black-owned bookstore, a local bookstore, BookShop.org, Books-A-Million, Target, or Barnes & Noble, etc.
