Honduras
In honor of my dear sweet Amika Big Tree Tendaji’s birthday, I am asking that you donate to help her get to Honduras to participate in a human rights delegation. Amika is sweet, funny, clever, witty, a co-founder of Chicago’s first urban response team and has been wanting to go on this trip for two years. Amika has worked and organized in Chicago for over two decades and has been involved in many movements including but not limited to campaigns to stop the closure of mental health clinics, ban the box, stop the closure of public schools, justice for people killed by police, emergency urban response and so much more. She is a brilliant strategist, writer, comedian, mom, sister, mentor, granddaughter, comrade, teacher, healer. Please donate what you can to help send her to Honduras. No amount is too small, every little bit helps!

As part of a growing relationship between the Black Lives Matter Network, M4BL organizers, and Juntos, Afro-Brazilian youth organizers have invited organizers from our movement to come connect, build, and strategize. This is a critical opportunity to expand our ability to build a powerful global Black liberation movement in our lifetime!
