#BUILDBLACK #BUYBLACK #BANKBLACK

We seek not to replace white-capitalism with Black-capitalism, but to shake off the call to rampant consumerism and use our dollars intentionally to build Black community. When we are conscious about how we invest our resources, we can seed the services, programs, and institutions that feed our community. Rather than spending our dollars on meaningless items, let’s support Black-led, Black-serving organizations.

BUILD NEW TRADITIONS: Donate to Black-led-Black-serving organizations in the names of your loved ones as holiday gifts and request that they do the same for you. You can download #BlackXmas cards to spread the word.

Of course, if you choose to buy, #BuyBlack. Additional products and resources can be found at We Buy Black and on the app Official Black Wall Street.
