Colgate Masque and Triangle supports the Colgate Student Coalition in condemning police brutality and racial profiling. We recognize that atrocities including the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and so many more are not isolated incidents but symptoms of deeply embedded racism that will take major systemic change to break down.
The Coalition hopes to raise $72k, the cost of attendance for one academic year at Colgate, over the course of 13 days. The money raised will be donated to bail funds through a number of organizations including the Chicago Community Bond Fund, Silicon Valley Democratic Socialists of America, Dallas Luke 4:18 Bail Fund, and NYC Liberty Fund. You can learn more about their mission and the organizations being funded on Instagram or by following the link below. Since beginning to fundraise on June 5th, the Coalition has already raised over $30k.
We urge you to contribute if you are able and spread the word. The fundraiser will remain open until June 18th and the link to donate is below.
Today we are raising our voices and standing against a legacy of police brutality that has resulted in the unjustified harm and deaths of unarmed and law-abiding citizens in our nation.
