Know Who Your Enemy Is.


 

This April, Trump’s Justice Department indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center in a politically-motivated attack to bring their crucial work to track violent white supremacists to a halt. Then, before a court or jury heard a word, Fidelity fell in line with Trump, blocking donations to SPLC from their donor-advised funds (DAFs), which provide a critical funding source for many charities, public services, and civic organizations. Vanguard Charitable, Charles Schwab DAFgiving360, Goldman Sachs Gives, and Thrivent Financial followed. 

 Color Of Change swiftly acted to demand that these powerful financial institutions reverse course—and we’ve heard nothing in response. But today, the spotlight is on donor-advised funds with a national DAF Day of Giving, giving us an opportunity to escalate. So we’re amping up the pressure on Fidelity as the first major player to act, which set off a cascade of other financial institutions blacklisting civil rights in capitulation to Trump.

Know Who your Enemy is!

Three Black Lives


 

Three young Black lives. Three trips to a store. Three families left carrying a lifetime of grief. 

Latasha Harlins was killed after being falsely accused of stealing a bottle of orange juice. Video evidence showed she had money in her hand and did not steal the item.

Cyrus Carmack-Belton, 14 years old, was shot in the back after being accused of shoplifting. His family lost a son. A community lost a child. 

Trayvon Martin was returning from a store with an Arizona tea and a bag of Skittles when his life was taken. 

Different cities. Different years. The same painful question. How many Black children must die under suspicion before Black life is treated as innocent, human, and worthy of protection? 

Oppression does not disappear because we ignore it. It does not retreat because we hope it will. Every generation must decide whether it will accept injustice or confront it. 

We are a people who desire peace. But peace without justice is submission. Peace without accountability is silence. Peace without power is fragile. The question is not whether history is repeating itself. The question is what are you prepared to do to stop it?- Raheim Shabazz
