UPDATE 6/9: We have kept the Givebutter open for an extra 36 hours but are closing it now. In addition to the $27,211 raised here, we received $12,851.23 in donations on Venmo, and we expect to add $16,000 in individual matching gifts and approximately $40,000 in employer matches.

Links to donate to the individual organizations are below and we urge you to continue supporting them and the countless other groups and individuals fighting for an end to racial injustice. Set up a recurring donation, if you are able—the struggle against white supremacy isn't new, and it isn't going away.

To support on-going protests and organizations combating racial injustice, members of the Lexington Arts community are hosting a fundraising concert Sunday to raise funds for groups doing the work on the front lines and who need urgent support. The concert will feature local singers, musicians, comics, poets, and more.
