The entire world turned its collective attention for the long overdue justice of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Oluwatoyin Salau, Elijah McClain, and the countless other Black people who have lost their lives to senseless violations of civil and human rights. Now, the revolution must be sustained. The Black community, its activists, healers, and creators are pouring from empty cups. Together, we can create the opportunity to fill them.
Our goal is to raise $50,000 to package up one month of free, individualized therapy for 200+ Black people. We will use the funds to pay the BIPOC therapists who heal the community while also experiencing shared trauma.
We are a collective of activists who are committed to sustaining the Black Lives Matter movement:
In Black communities, therapy has a high barrier of entry often due to lack of resources — all while the community is experiencing trauma at a disproportionate rate. BIPOC therapists are frequently being asked to work for free and we want to give back to both sides of the community, providing opportunity for both the therapists and the people who need care.
From new allies, commitment to the movement has started to fade. Long before George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain, there was Sandra Bland, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown. At the bare minimum, this project creates the opportunity for Black people to unpack years of the effects of systemic racism.
Donating to this cause is an easy form of activism you can take today.
