Dear Friend, In his first month in office, Donald Trump has moved swiftly to roll back numerous policies and programs across the U.S. focused on advancing racial justice and ending systemic racism -- from federal DEI programs to anti-discrimination hiring policies that date back to the Civil Rights Movement. These actions are both disheartening and infuriating. Systemic racism, and specifically anti-Black racism, is the foundation of the unchecked corporate power that we see today. From colonial-era exploitation to modern-day predatory lending and environmental racism, corporations have thrived by commodifying Black labor and resources while denying Black communities economic and social mobility. This is why we believe that dismantling systemic racism is essential to ending corporate abuse and holding corporations accountable for the abuses they inflict on people and the planet. And no matter what the Trump administration says or does, we refuse to back down or be silenced. Through the Black Collective, Corporate Accountability is committed to supporting, following, and engaging with Black-led organizing in the movement to advance racial equity -- a commitment that will become even more important as the Trump administration continues to undo decades of progress. To launch and sustain these bold campaigns, we need consistent and reliable support from members like you. And right now, you have an opportunity to do even more for the vital work that happens under the Black Collective: by making a gift to Corporate Accountability. We need you to help power this movement for the year ahead. So will you join us? Make a gift today and it will be matched with an extra $150 by a generous donor -- making your support go even further. |
