Sympoh is committed to making long term change. In addition to sharing what we can do, where we can donate, and how we can learn (https://linktr.ee/sympoh) via social media, we want to motivate our members and alumni to follow through on these actions.
Fundraise: Sympoh has selected the following 2 charities to focus our donations on. Send us your receipts to help us reach our goal of $1000
Campaign Zero: https://www.joincampaignzero.org/ : Funds donated to Campaign Zero support the analysis of policing practices across the country, research to identify effective solutions to end police violence, technical assistance to organizers leading police accountability campaigns and the development of model legislation and advocacy to end police violence nationwide.
AASA fundraiser to the NAACP Legal Defense & Educ Fund Inc (Ldf): https://www.gofundme.com/f/princeton-aasa-fundraiser-for-naacp-ldf?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link-tip&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheetAmerica's legal counsel on issues of race. Through advocacy and litigation, LDF focuses on issues of education, voter protection, economic justice and criminal justice. They encourage students to embark on careers in the public interest through scholarship and internship programs. https://www.naacpldf.org/about-us/
Sympoh encourages all of our members and alumni to donate to these 2 causes because they are committed to ending police violence and achieving racial justice for Black lives. To motivate us towards a goal, we have set a collective goal of $1000. As you donate, send us an image of your receipts to [email protected] or DM it to us on instagram so we can keep track of our progress. We will be posting progress updates on our Instagram story. Please donate if you are financially able and encourage your friends, family, and followers to match your donation! If your friends/family send or DM you the receipt, please feel free to send that to us as well.
We know giving is not always possible, and we do not mean to put you in a financially difficult position. If a donation is impossible, do what is. Sending lots of love to the Sympoh community. I hope you are taking care of yourself in these crazy times.
