HOW TO DONATE TO BLM WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY
a black woman named zoe amira posted a video on youtube. this video is an hour long and filled with art and music from black creators. it has a ton of ads, and in result will rack up a ton of revenue. 100% of the ad revenue from the video will be dispersed between various blm organizations, including bail-out funds for protesters. it will be split between the following, dependent on necessity
brooklyn bail fund
minnesota freedom fund
atlanta action network
columbus freedom fund
louisville community bail fund
chicago bond
black visions collective
richmond community bail fund
the bail project inc
nw com bail fund
philadelphia bail fund
the korchhinski-parquet family gofundme

turn off your adblocker and put the video on repeat. do not skip ads. let it play on loop whether you’re listening or not. mute the tab if you need to focus elsewhere. but let. it. play.
youtube will donate to blm for you.

All police departments are evil but the NYPD is exponentially more evil than any other PD in the country.
The NYPD has an annual budget if $6 billion. A lot of this budget goes into excessive overtime. When you have such a large budget, it translates into over-policing and dramatically shifts the type of policing that happens. Cops will be more interested in issuing fines as opposed to spending time solving actual crime. This affects poor people and neighborhoods (often people of color) at a disproportionate rate. So over policing for revenue collection and under policing for serious crime ends up becoming a loop.
So when you hear that the NYPD needs an annual budget of $6 billion because “NYC has a high crime rate” just know that it’s like this on purpose. The NYPD drains tax revenue and distributes it internally through excessive overtime and uses fines and fees (officers literally have quotas) to justify it’s need for such a large annual budget.
If the NYPD budget was cut, I promise you they wouldn’t impose an 8pm curfew and have 8000 officers on duty collecting overtime. A budget cut for the NYPD means we could allocate much needed funding to help small local businesses hurt by COVID. We could fund programs on homelessness, mental health, youth services, combating overcrowding in schools and transportation.
If you live in NYC, I urge you to call/email the New York City Council and ask them to cut NYPD funding. This is your right as a tax payer.
The current chair of the Finance Committee is council member Daniel Dromm

Hello, unfortunately I am not receiving a stimulus check (not for lack of trying) and I continue to be chronically underpaid and underscheduled even with a +2 in Hazard pay per hour at work. I am an essential worker and I do not make more than $10 an hour with Hazard pay, excluding taxes and money taken out for vision coverage.
I know so many people are struggling during this time, but I am also out risking my health because I have to eat. And I continue to struggle with bills during the pandemic. My goal to get through the month is around $800. I appreciate everyone who has helped me more than you know, thank you all so much 💖
