For as long as I can, I'll be matching new donations to Equal Justice Initiative ( http://eji.org ) and #BlackLivesMatter ( http://blacklivesmatter.com ).

Please join me in supporting the fight for racial justice and equality.

Reply (or DM me) with receipts to match.

It hasn't been an hour yet, and we're already at close to $3,000 in donations (and double that with the match).

Let's keep this going!

We're now at $7,857 in donations (before match), and I'm just humbled at the response. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep matching, but I hope we can try to get to $10,000.

So, @taylorleejones and the @whiteboardis crew just reached out to me and generously offered to add another $5,000 match above what my wife and I can match to keep this going!!!

(If anyone else is willing to top up the match even further, let me know!)

Let's go!!!

Holy cow, we have @joshpuckett + K adding $3k of matches.

And @srikantmrao from @SilversmithCap with another $5K!!!

And @dharmesh matching my entire match!!! WHAT?!?

Thank you all so much!

And we have @jim_brown with another $1K in matching funds.

Plus @modulz and and @_jasoncox_ with $5K additional each.

What is happening!?!

We have $13K+ donations so far, and *at least* $45K in promised matching funds.

WOW.

@ryandeiss just matched @dharmesh's match of my match, which means that new donations to @Blklivesmatter or @eji_org will be matched 3X! Thank you, Ryan!

A $100 donation can turn into $400 total donated! Please consider joining! https://twitter.com/ryandeiss/status/1267279376560816130

UPDATE

We now have over $20,500 in direct donations.

Also, several donors above offering additional 2X, 3X matching funds to extend what I can do.

Just got ANOTHER anon donor of $15,000 to match. We now have over $101,000 in matching funds committed or already donated!

Just had @speechu jump in to extend the match by another $10,000! Thank you, Sundeep!

And thanks again to @srikantmrao for helping match!

Calling on more VC partners to help out as well!

Ok, calling it a night. Thank you for everyone who donated directly and those who helped with matching.

So far we have raised **$154,518.30** from hundreds of donors in just a few hours.

I can't believe it — thank you all for showing up!

(Still have matching funds left!)
