A Call for Civil Liberty
Manage episode 264231625 series 173154
Hello listeners,
Given the massive protests against police violence and systemic racism in the US, Wednesday Night Games has decided to hold this weeks episode in reserve.
Lots of companies are making donations to charities that help African American communities in these times but here at WNG we don’t have a steady stream of income to offer in support of the cause outside of what keeps us running in our day to day lives.
But we do have our Ko-Fi. So, anything that is donated to our Ko-Fi this week, we’ll turn around and donate to Black Lives Matter. Their message of full liberties for people of color and the end of white supremacy is one that we feel can best utilize our support in these times.
We also want to increase the awareness and support of local bailfunds for the areas where protests are ongoing nearly daily against police violence. These funds help to get civil protesters out of jail cells so they can keep doing their good work.
While we’re happy to pass along your donation, we don’t want you to have to use us as middlemen. If you’re unsure of where to donate, the links below will take you to some pretty good places to drop a few bucks for the cause against the systemic hate our congress people have allowed to go on for too long in the US.
Black Lives Matter:

National Bailfunds List – Just look for the state and city combination you’re hoping to donate to. If the state/city combo you’re looking for doesn’t currently have a listed bailfund, consider donating to one of the National funds:
