We are writing to ask you to give $1 to ten organizations that are fighting on the frontlines of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Friend, in the last year, over [1,000 people have been killed]( by police, with Black Americans victimized at a disproportionately higher rate. The video of George Floyd being murdered at the hands of four Minneapolis police officers caused long-strained racial tensions in America to boil over. Protests against police violence and the suffering of Black Americans have since been held in every single state; giving a collective voice to those whose voices have been silenced for too long. [We are asking you to support numerous organizations that are working on the frontlines to report the stories directly from the protests, change policies governing police, provide assistance to those facing a biased and unjust legal system, and organize a collective voice for change.
