And @eastbaycf to identify and support several community groups who have been working hard to strengthen ties within our community. The $25k that was originally offered as a reward to catch the person who shoved the 91 year old to the ground in Oakland Chinatown was put into this fund.

Happy New Breath, everyone! I’m excited to announce that this week, New Breath Foundation is distributing $130,000 in grants to twelve community-based organizations to decrease violence against the Asian American community, promote cross-racial solidarity, and advance effective alternatives to criminalization.
I’m very thankful to everyone who has invested in this initial round to support the incredible work everyone is doing across the country. We also appreciate the individuals who utilize their public platforms to raise awareness and contribute. We especially want to thank actor Daniel Wu (@thatdanielwu) for being one of the first supporters to kickstart this fund.
These grants are part of a new collaboration with the East Bay Community Foundation (@eastbaycf) and other philanthropic partners.
NBF grew out of the grassroots movements to end mass incarceration, address immigration/deportation issues, and advance racial justice and solidarity. We hope to build long-term infrastructure to advance movements for equity and justice.
This is just the beginning. I look forward to sharing more soon.

kickstart fund 在 Kit Mah Facebook 的精選貼文
In 2020, MCO was a big hit to many of us. At that time, I tried many things. Some stuck, some didn’t. I never imagined that I would develop a new hobby, running! With almost no training in running at all (only lifting weights all these years), I was surprised that I could conquer 8km the first time I ran with my baby @cssm22
We started with just 1 weekly run of 5km and occasionally 8 km and the next thing I knew was joining her for virtual runs of 21KM and 24KM.
Am I a trained runner? No
Did I enjoy it? Abso-f*cking-lutely!
Because of her, I was inspired to run and I never thought I could do it without any training.
She has inspired me to kickstart 2021 with a bang, and I decided to join the 21K Strong Virtual Run & Ride Movement by the City of Elmina, where the goal is to collectively reach 21,000 km in total and participation fees will be donated to a COVID19 relief fund!
Join me and be a part of this meaningful movement. We may be physically apart, but we remain mentally united! Swipe left to view event poster or head on to @simedarbyproperty to check out the link in their bio
