📢 DID YOU KNOW❓ Neo-segregationists are mobilizing to restore Jim Crow-era privileges for white people and to restrict Black people’s access to the workplace and our education system — and they’re doing it thanks to funding from some of the biggest charities in the country.
Take the Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund, for example, which since 2020 has given over $400,000 to nonprofits led by and tied to neo-segregationists like Ed Blum, Stephen Miller, Christopher Rufo, and Kris Kobach. In 2022 alone, they even gave $125,000 directly to nonprofits established or led by Ed Blum and Stephen Miller, who are wholly committed to ending affirmative action and eliminating all programs to counter racism. After we raised concerns about their recent donations, Goldman Sachs officials claimed that because of their capital investments in Black women entrepreneurs, it’s OK that they gave $125,000 directly to Blum and Miller's nonprofits. 🙄 Now, the question we’d like Goldman Sachs to answer is this: Exactly how much money do you have to give to BIPOC communities to make up for donating to the Klan?
With these neo-segregationists working overtime off a steady supply of cash from corporate charities, none of our laws that guarantee equality and freedom from discrimination are safe. That’s why we must come together and stop them dead in their tracks by holding these corporate charities accountable. Demand they stop funding a pro-discrimination agenda at coc.is/HoldCharitiesAccountable.
