Hello everyone !! Our teach-in last week was an amazing success, thanks to everyone who came to support. For those who didn’t attend, we made an important announcement about our newest campaign “save our girls” to raise awareness of missing black girls in relation to the criminalization, hypersexualization, and erasure of our plight. We are selling the T-shirts pictured and proceeds go towards the Black and Missing Foundation AND to raise money for our FREE self defense classes for women in Chicago !!! Shirts are $10 and come with a free informational zine about missing black girls. For now only @maxinethegreenbean is selling the shirts but we will expand once more are made. tshirt design by @babyteethonline
