On June 1, Rabble's three working founders agreed to donate our scheduled June raises to bail funds and Black led organizations across the US. Rabble matched, for a total of $2,100. This amounts to about 1.7% of our entire 2019 revenue. Put another way, we donated the equivalent of a week of our income for the year to efforts that sustain the people in the streets fighting for Black lives.
We're small, so that's not a ton of money. We would love to see other tech companies contribute similar proportions to Black organizers and activists.
We welcome you to join us in supporting the following organizations:
We sent $1,650 to bail funds & Black led orgs in cities across the US where we partner with public libraries to build local music collections:
