If we can raise $3,000 from you, our readers, who visit our website or attend our events, this donor will contribute another $3,000 in matching funds this month.
We are not salespeople. We are artists, journalists, students, teachers, and volunteers from the community working together to banish harmful stereotypes and celebrate our cultural riches. Year-round we bring you the untold of the community entirely free of charge. But we depend on you donations. [MORE ABOUT OUR WORK & 2018 PRIORITIES]
