Vassar Political Education Wealth Redistribution (VPEWR) is a student-led initiative that is working under the Vassar BSU Political Education committee. Our goal is to redistribute wealth to communities most affected by and actively working against police brutality. To do so, we are tapping into networks and asking individuals for reasonable donations to VPEWR. We are organizing a series of week-long fundraising drives to benefit different locations across the US.

Donations in the first week will all be directed towards organizations in Minnesota. The five organizations we are supporting in Minnesota are Black Immigrant Collective, Black Table Arts, Minnesota Healing Justice Network, Southside Harm Reduction Services, and Pimento Relief Fund. For more information please go to “Organizations We are Supporting” at https://linktr.ee/vpewr . 

We hope that the Vassar community can create a network dedicated to redistributing monetary funds towards those who are advocating for investment in community care and divestment from inherently violent police forces.
