There has been a lot of self-exploitation going on within BSA, but that is only because this fight feels like life or death to us.

We don’t think it’s necessary for us to be burnt out in order to execute on our goals, but we can’t change this reality without your support.
We know many of you all are already flooded with appeals for support at this time of the year, so we’ll keep it short...

Bernie Sanders (a politician) raised over 228 MILLION dollars for a CAMPAIGN...

Imagine if we put that kind of money into building a new, democratic world...
We have over 40k followers on social media.

Only 700 people have donated in this last month, and yet they’ve helped us raise $30k!

If the (roughly) 39,300 people remaining gave just $5 each, we’d have over $200k to work with.

If they gave Bernie’s $27 average?

Do the math!
We don’t mention Bernie Sanders here to spark another debate about electoral politics, but to instead put things in perspective.

We are a young, Black organization working tirelessly on a very macro socialist vision that is made up of countless, interconnected micro struggles.
We can radically change our lives, but we must all throw in on something systemically revolutionary in order to do so.

We have more tools coming.

We have new tools coming.

We have a plan.

But it’s difficult for us to keep pace and balance right now.

You can help change that.
This was the first month we were open for donations after ONE year of being around!

We knew $30k was a humble goal to set given this, and we’ve hit that goal before the end of the month!

That said, we also knew we’d need more than TWICE this much to do things properly in 2019.
We THANK YOU ALL for helping us hit $30k in less than 30 days; this is a GREAT help, even with the pressures we face.

We ask you to consider the big picture and challenge those you know who CAN help alleviate some of these pressures by donating to do so.

We know being bombarded with requests by different folks claiming to have the “solution” can be irritating, but we’ll be the first to level with you:

No one has it all.

The key is to give support to those trying to use *all* the tools in the toolkit for something REVOLUTIONARY.
