The Workers Center for Racial Justice is a grassroots organization fighting for Black Liberation and a fair and inclusive society that benefits all people.
We're located in Chicago, Illinois & Milwaukee, Wisconsin!
Before you go out tonight, please review our Know-Your-Rights information. This is essential for all people of color, because they are increasingly detaining citizens, too.

ICE has refused pleas to allow families to enjoy this holiday in peace. In fact, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem (talk about scary!! 🎃 ☠️) has said they are doubling down, and will be out in full force.

This is a grave loss for the world. A Black Panther Party member and fighter for the Black Liberation Army. A true revolutionary who reminds us to continue our fight for freedom until everyone is free.

Give828 is coming to a close, but our work never stops. Just as the Civil Rights Movement did more than 60 years ago, we must pool our resources to fuel the resistance.

We humbly ask you to make a donation today. In challenging times, we need each other more than ever www.give828.org/story/Wcrj828

The future depends on what we do today and how we show up. Supporting our community, our movement, and the vision we hold for liberation. 

Our goal is to raise $2,500 by the end of today. Can you pitch in any amount to help us over the finish line? www.give828.org/story/Wcrj828

62 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have A Dream" speech during the March on Washington.
Today, we honor his legacy and continue the fight for justice. Support WCRJ's Give828 fundraiser to resist injustice and keep the dream alive.

How will you defend the legacy of Juneteenth?

Help WCRJ raise $1,9000 in the fight for Black liberation! Give today: bit.ly/juneteenth25wcrj

Donating to support grassroots organizations is an important act of resilience on Juneteenth. There are widespread attempts to silence those who seek a better world. WCRJ is working hard to preserve the legacy of freedom and justice that Juneteenth represents.

The road ahead is steep, with so many urgent issues on the line this year, we need everyone to chip in. NOW is the time to double down on our commitment to Black liberation - there are only ten days until Juneteenth, give today!
