In America, we don’t turn our backs on our neighbors when they need help. After witnessing COVID take my family & leave me struggling, I decided to create my own campaign to help citizens & business owners suffering during this pandemic. #ValueUsAlive #COVIDSmallBusinessCrisis
Earlier this year I spoke with @levelmag about the rise of vigilante white supremacists. During Black History Month I was forced to relocate my business and residence because the Ku Klux Klan was recruiting people in our area. https://twitter.com/levelmag/status/1269624244557754368?s=19

In times of crisis, the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.

In 24 hours they raised $60k for the Kenosha killer Kyle Rittenhouse. Better yet, a "Christian" crowdfunding site raised more in less than a week than our clean water campaign for Flint raised in two years.
He killed people. I organize water distributions for people at Churches.

I guess helping thousands of people is no match for killing people. I'm speechless.
A fundraiser on a "Christian" fundraising platform has raised more than $332k to help the Kenosha killer.
Our goal is only $60k to save a business. Help us here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-small-business-relief-fund-for-blm-hero

The Paycheck Protection Program's loans did help "millions of small businesses" survive the COVID-19 pandemic, but also saw "billions of dollars being diverted to fraud, waste, and abuse" due to a "lack of oversight and accountability." #COVIDSmallBusinessCrisis

Christian crowdfunding site under fire, as it should be, for hosting a campaign to raise money for the Kenosha killer. via @C_Stroop https://religiondispatches.org/news-flash-christian-supporters-of-kenosha-killer-are-christians/
Don't ever tell me my life truly matters in America. I'm a Black man helping people, hit hard by COVID, struggling to save my business while a killer is rewarded with assistance from "Christians" simply because he's White?
How do I explain this to the kids in our youth program?
How do I explain this to the kids in our youth program?
How do you explain to at-risk students that "Christians" raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to help a killer while their parents, teachers and youth programs are struggling to survive?
After witnessing "Christians" raise more to help a killer, than I raised to save my business and help Flint combined, I'm out of words. Watching this makes me really question humanity.
People will support a killer because he's White, before helping a hero because he's Black.

They've raised more in two weeks to help a killer than our small business campaign has raised in two months.
This crushed me inside to the point where I'm probably going to give up on fundraising after our goal is reached. Speechless.

COVID has devastated small businesses across the country, but no group has been hit harder than Black-owned businesses. Nationally, Black businesses have been more likely to be shuttered and less likely to receive the federal aid they requested compared to other groups.
The COVID-19 crisis has wiped out nearly half of Black small businesses in the United States. #COVIDSmallBusinessCrisis https://www.forbes.com/sites/pedrodacosta/2020/08/10/the-covid-19-crisis-has-wiped-out-nearly-half-of-black-small-businesses/
The monthly hate emails and death threats I receive from Trump supporters are reminders of why we're marching. #BLM
One of the biggest challenges facing small businesses across the country is rent. Nearly 98k businesses have closed permanently since the pandemic began, and that number will only grow unless we provide rent relief now. #COVIDSmallBusinessCrisis https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/17/business/small-business-rent-landlord.html
A Texas school district is investigating a high school English teacher who asked students to write about a modern-day hero and listed the 17-year-old accused of killing two people during Wisconsin protests as one possible option. https://www.nbc12.com/2020/09/19/teen-suspect-killing-protesters-listed-texas-teachers-hero-assignment/
