1/ We want to help turn this momentum into funds & action. @stewart & I are giving $700,000 to @Blklivesmatter, @NAACP_LDF + these 8 social justice orgs.

We also set aside $300,000 to match donations to any of these orgs. Reply w/ receipts or email matching@rubiobutterfield.org
6/ @projectnia works to end the arrest and detention of youth by promoting restorative justice alternatives to the criminal legal process http://project-nia.org/ 
8/ @untilfreedom works on criminal justice reform and gun violence prevention through advocacy, campaigns, and rapid response/triage https://www.untilfreedom.com/donate 
9/ Loveland Foundation shows up for women of color in powerful ways, including a fund to provide therapy for Black women and girls https://thelovelandfoundation.org/ 
10/ Why do the public matching? Last time we did this, we raised over $300k (matched w $1M+) in 2 days from followers who didn't know about the orgs or were compelled to donate knowing their $ was multiplied. It adds funds & awareness. Thanks for your support!
