Wealth Redistribution to Black-Centered Groups
“This is a non-exhaustive list of organizations/associations/collectives/etc. that center Black people. Most hyperlinks go straight to a donation or CashApp page, others go to a homepage on which you’ll have to search a bit for the “Donate” or “Support” button. You can also redistribute wealth locally by searching for groups like this in your area. It is also recommended to redistribute wealth directly to Black writers, educators, influencers from whom you learn, but Black people do not need to educate us in order to deserve our financial support. Reparations are owed nonetheless.” https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1FrIjTti6KHsCgw4ktmciFjQlmGvetvCq71mac_KFiec/mobilebasic
