We’re Dreaming of a #BlackXMas
#BuildBlack is the first tenet of #BlackXMas. It is an invitation and a clarion call to refuse the attempts of white-supremacist capitalism to whip us into a consumerist frenzy. Instead, let’s use our economic power to build towards Black liberation by investing in Black-led, Black-serving organizations.
African American Cultural Center (Black cultural work and forums)
A New Way of Life (Reentry support services for formerly incarcerated women)
Black Lives Matter-Los Angeles (working to end state-sanctioned violence)
Black Lives Matter Grassroots (the original boots-on-the-ground formation of Black Lives Matter)
Black Women for Wellness (Black women’s health)
Black Worker Center (good jobs for Black people)
Crenshaw Subway Coalition (transportation and housing justice in Black communities)
Fernando Pullum Center (free performing arts classes for children)
Jenesse Center (domestic violence intervention, housing and services)
Los Angeles Community Action Network – LACAN (homeless organizing)
St. Elmo Village (residential Black artist community; free arts workshops and events)
