$10K in 10 Days for CPR to Match Kaepernick

Posted on January 31, 2018

Over a year ago, Colin Kaepernick pledged to give $1 million to groups across the nation, and we were thrilled to be included as a recipient in late 2016. For the final $100,000 of his #MillionDollarPledge, Kaepernick launched a #10for10 campaign where he matched gifts of at least $10K from his friends with $10K grants to 10 organizations over the course of 10 days. On Friday, January 26, 2018, Entertainer/entrepreneur Nick Cannon chose to give a double gift to CPR with a donation of $20K and hip hop artist Joey Bada$$ also gave $10K, which Kaepernick matched with $10K. As part of the Encore portion of #10for10, music and business executive Steve Stoute donated $10K to us on February 1, 2018. It brings a total of $50,000 to our racial justice and police accountability work in 2018.
 
We want to use this moment to help strengthen CPR, including our grassroots organizing groups – based in and led by communities most impacted by abusive and discriminatory policing – that lead so much of our work. We launched our own #10in10forCPR campaign to raise $10K in 10 days (through Friday, February 9) – with the hope that our community will help us match Kaepernick’s donation.
 
Can you help us raise at least $10,000 in 10 days for CPR and our amazing grassroots member organizations as part of our #10in10forCPR campaign by giving $20, $100, $250 or another amount?
