| Boilerpipe Text | At IGN, we have taken action in support of Black Lives Matter since protests erupted across the US after the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, Daunte Wright, Ma’Khia Bryant, among many others. Here are some of the charities and resources we’ve supported and some additional options by which you can join us in taking action. The fight isn’t over; as instances of police brutality and systemic racism toward Black people continue, we hope you’ll consider joining us in helping in whatever way you can to bring about change.
Update: the Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, has been found guilty of the killing of George Floyd. He has been charged with second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter, as reported by
NYTimes
.
NAACP
https://naacp.org/
The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) was founded in 1909. The NAACP's vision is, "to ensure a society in which all individuals have equal rights without discrimination based on race."
The organization chooses key areas for donations to go towards for the year, and for 2021 they are:
Education: "Ensure every student of color receives a quality public education that prepares him or her to be a contributing member of a democracy."
Criminal Justice: "Create sweeping police reform–federal legislation mandating a zero-tolerance approach in penalizing and/or prosecuting police officers who kill unarmed, non-violent, and non-resisting individuals in an arrest."
Healthcare: "Ensure quality affordable health care for all people."
Economic Development: "Address the challenging economic realities facing our communities including poverty, lack of jobs and disproportionate high unemployment, lack of affordable housing, foreclosures, etc."
Color of Change
https://colorofchange.org/
Color of Change is a nonprofit organization that designs campaigns to help end practices that marginalize Black people in the United States.
About Color of Change:
“We help people respond effectively to injustice in the world around us. As a national online force driven by 1.7 million members, we move decision-makers in corporations and government to create a more human and less hostile world for Black people in America.”
The Bail Project
https://bailproject.org/
The Bail Project is a nonprofit that pays bail for people in need, reuniting families and restoring the presumption of innocence.
About The Bail Project:
“We believe that paying bail for someone in need is an act of resistance against a system that criminalizes race and poverty and an act of solidarity with local communities and movements for decarceration. Over the next five years, The Bail Project will open dozens of sites in high-need jurisdictions with the goal of paying bail for tens of thousands of low-income Americans, all while collecting stories and data that prove money bail is not necessary to ensure people return to court. We won’t stop until meaningful change is achieved and the presumption of innocence is no longer for sale.”
Black Girls Smile
https://www.blackgirlssmile.org/
Black Girls Smile is a non-profit organization that focuses on helping empower young black girls through mental health programs. They also have a clothing shop on

The NAACP Legal Defense Fund
https://www.naacpldf.org/
The NAACP Legal Defense Fund is a leading civil rights organization dedicated to racial justice.
“Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, LDF seeks structural changes to expand democracy, eliminate disparities, and achieve racial justice in a society that fulfills the promise of equality for all Americans. LDF also defends the gains and protections won over the past 80 years of civil rights struggle and works to improve the quality and diversity of judicial and executive appointments.”
Louisville Community Bail Fund
https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/louisville-community-bail-fund/
The Louisville Community Bail Fund provides bail to those who cannot afford it, as well as offering post-release support.
"The Louisville Community Bail Fund exists to not only bail out folks, but provide post-release support to get them from jail, fed, and to a situation of safety. LCBF also maintains a focus on preventative measures for those targeted by law enforcement and threatened with incarceration. While we work with national networks, we are also one of the only bail funds that rely entirely on support from individuals in our social justice community."
The Loveland Foundation
https://thelovelandfoundation.org/
The Loveland Foundation is a non-profit organization that centers on helping black women and girls through empowerment, opportunity, and therapy support.
"Loveland Foundation is committed to showing up for communities of color in unique and powerful ways, with a particular focus on Black women and girls. Our resources and initiatives are collaborative and they prioritize opportunity, access, validation, and healing. Through fellowships, residency programs, listening tours, and more, ultimately we hope to contribute to both the empowerment and the liberation of the communities we serve."
Black Lives Matter
https://blacklivesmatter.com/
Founded in 2013, Black Lives Matter is a global organization dedicated to eradicating white supremacy and combating acts of violence on Black communities.
“We are expansive. We are a collective of liberators who believe in an inclusive and spacious movement. We also believe that in order to win and bring as many people with us along the way, we must move beyond the narrow nationalism that is all too prevalent in Black communities. We must ensure we are building a movement that brings all of us to the front.”
