Gullah Geechee Land and Legacy Fund

The people of the Gullah/Geechee Nation (www.gullahgeecheenation.com) have been fighting to keep their culture and traditions alive on the land that their families own from Jacksonville, NC to Jacksonville, FL. Over the past twenty-five years, the Gullah/Geechee Sea Island Coalition (www.gullahgeechee.net) has led the effort to keep Gullah/Geechee land ownership going and to protect the land and human rights of Gullah/Geechees.

Recently, global media has published stories and shown news reports regarding the displacement of Gullah/Geechees from their homeland. This media attention caused thousands of people to request that the Gullah/Geechee Sea Island Coalition and Queen Quet, Chieftess of the Gullah/Geechee Nation create this GoFundMe Campaign so that they can support the efforts of helping the land retention amongst the Gullah/Geechee. To that end, the funds raised here will assist with:

• the fundraising for legal matters for Gullah/Geechee land retention and human rights protections

• provide for additional FREE Gullah/Geechee community land rights, heirs property, and human rights workshops and materials so that Gullah/Geechees can protect their land ownership and keep their cultural heritage and traditions alive on their land

• implementation of the Gullah/Geechee Sustainability Plan which focuses on the environmental sustainability and adaptation work on the Sea Islands

We are calling on all those that support the Gullah/Geechee Nation in their continued stand for self-determination to

1) become dues paying members of the Gullah/Geechee Sea Island Coalition www.gullahgeechee.net which can be done online online at www.gullahgeechee.biz.

2) sponsor a Gullah/Geechee fundraiser and community awareness event in your community no matter where you are in the world as part of the "Gullah/Geechee Land & Legacy World Tour."

3) come to the Gullah/Geechee Nation for "Gullah/Geechee Volunteer Month" in March annually to assist with environmental and social justice projects along with hundreds of other volunteers from around the world.
