CascadiaNow!

For my birthday, I encourage my friends and family to contribute to a local black-owned non-profit that is doing incredible work.

If you have the means, please join me in donating to Om Thrive (https://omthrive.org/).  
 
Om Thrive is a Portland black owned non-profit that provides healing yoga practice to survivors of domestic violence.  Specifically, the owner is raising money for a studio space.  She is doing this primarily through fundraising and selling skin care products.  From the Owner: "We are raising $30,000 to fund the lease takeover of a turn-key yoga studio space for Om Thrive Foundation. This space will be dedicated to providing free yoga and wellness classes to survivors of domestic violence and 200 hour Yoga Teacher Certification classes for people of color."



The nonprofit identified on gofundme is CascadiaNow, which will donate this money directly to Om Thrive. "CascadiaNow! amplifies positive impacts across the Cascadia bioregion. We serve as a fiscal sponsor for dozens of grassroots projects which cultivate resilient and inclusive communities."

Thank you all for being my friend.  I have an incredible community of smart, thoughtful, generous, funny people- I love you all.  Let's keep pushing each other to do better.

Xoxo, Taylor
