We are in a moment of reckoning as a nation and society. The protests we are all witnessing collectively is a call to action that we must address and eradicate deep-rooted systemic, personal and institutional racism. Bright Funds has established the Black Lives Matter Systemic Change Fund, composed of pre-vetted nonprofits who work towards systemic solutions that will rethread the fabric of our society to be more just and equitable. Through a single tax deductible donation to the Fund you will support a group of nonprofits that are part of the movement to fight for freedom, liberation and justice for all Black lives.

As a part of the July 22, 2020 Equity Action Plan update: "We have pre-qualified 26 racial justice and equity non-profit 501(c)3 organizations for our employee matching gift program". Here are all 26 of those pre-qualified organizations. I encourage you to research these organizations further to find which ones inspire you. You can click on a specific nonprofit, below, to donate directly to that organization. Alternatively, donating to this fund will help support all organizations at the same time. There is small link on the "Donate" Homepage that will lead to the WSI EAP Campaign, which also has these organizations listed. I had trouble locating this, so I hope this Fund will increase visibility and engagement.

Patriot Act has been one of my favorite shows since its debut. If you haven’t watched it, it is, in essence, a stand up comedy show discussing the serious problems in the world. Hasan Minhaj, the host of the show, has recently talked about the murder of George Floyd. George Floyd was a black man who had been choked to death by a police officer in Minneapolis. Floyd tried to get the policeman to stop, saying “I can’t breath”. The policeman did not listen. This sparked protests across the country and led to riots and looting in the U.S. This Fundraiser is influenced by Hasan Minhaj, and the non profits listed here are supported by Patriot Act. These nonprofits are committed to support the people who are subjected to racial discrimination and police brutality. We should have a world in which communities of color are not targeted. Donating to this fundraiser will support a group of nonprofits that are fighting for freedom and equality between all people.
