<div><strong>Help Bring This Hate Crimes Documentary Series to Life – Support Empathy Through Education</strong>

</div>

<div> 

</div>

<div><strong>Main Story:</strong>

</div>

<div>Hi, my name is <strong>Liz Latham,</strong> and I’m an independent filmmaker with a mission: to create a powerful, 3-part documentary series that explores <strong>how the tragic murders of James Byrd, Jr. and Matthew Shepard led to the creation of hate crime laws in Texas and across the U.S.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This series will be more than just a documentary — it will be a <strong>teaching tool</strong>. Using real, original footage I captured at the time, we’re building a <strong>video learning series that explores hate, empathy, and the need for justice-based education</strong> in schools from pre-K through 12th grade.

</div>

<div> 

</div>

<div><strong>Why This Matters:</strong>

</div>

<div>In a time when teaching empathy is being criticized as "woke," this project dares to say:

</div>

<div> <strong>“Let’s stop the hate and educate.”</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The footage I’ve preserved is raw, powerful, and historic — and it’s ready to be shaped into something that can make a real impact.

</div>

<div> 

</div>

<div><strong>Why We’re Raising Funds:</strong>

</div>

<div>Right now, we need <strong>$5,000</strong> to take the next critical step:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> Hiring <strong>Lionel Flynn</strong>, a talented editor based in Los Angeles, to work directly with the 33 reels of digitized and categorized footage.

</div>

<div>These funds will cover:

</div>

<div>•	Lionel’s time and editing labor

</div>

<div>•	Postage and hard drives for footage backup

</div>

<div>•	Software and computer needs

</div>

<div>•	Filmmaker’s time and production expenses

</div>

<div>This is the <strong>foundation</strong> we need to begin assembling a teaching tool that explores hate crimes, empathy, and non-violence in a deeply human way.

</div>

<div> 

</div>

<div><strong>What You’re Supporting:</strong>

</div>

<div>Your donation supports:

</div>

<div>•	A one-of-a-kind learning series rooted in historic footage

</div>

<div>•	Honest conversations around hate crime laws

</div>

<div>•	Empathy education that can reach future generations

</div>

<div>•	The completion of an important work that’s been years in the making

</div>

<div>Whether you can give $5 or $500, every bit helps us move forward.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>And if you believe empathy is not a radical idea—but a necessary one—please help us <strong>share this campaign</strong> and start the conversation.

</div>

<div> 

</div>

<div><strong>Thank You</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting independent film and truth-telling. Let’s make something that helps create a more understanding and just world.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With gratitude,

</div>
