#BLM B-town's 2020 Projects
"Make the Right Call" Campaign
#BLM B-town is helping to help spread awareness about and to address an epidemic of harassment taking the form of unwarranted phone calls to the police concerning black people innocently occupying public spaces. Visit our page to learn about this rapidly growing form of racially motivated harassment and what you can do to prevent it. We will also be creating a call guide that will connect people directly with specific emergency services in crisis situations. |

Fundraising for #BLM events & philanthropy
#BLM B-town functions as a not-for-profit; while we are still in the process of acquiring that status officially, we take in NO money for ourselves, and we do fundraise for projects and programs we wish to see take shape. What we do raise goes directly to the work we are doing here in Bloomington and the world. We both partner with local organizations and groups to fundraise, but we also welcome direct contributions from the public.

Education Oversight Committee
The statistics of racial bias in school systems are alarming, as are data about the school to prison pipeline. Black girls, in fact, experience the highest rates of classroom removal by the police, for problems as petty as hairstyle to talkativeness. The risks to Black students in our schools is clear. #BLM B-town is creating an oversight committee to sit in on MCCSC school board meetings, weigh in on curriculum, guide our local school systems, and in general work to create safer educational spaces for black and brown students.
