Fundraiser for the "Fight to save DCARA"
DEAF BAY AREA CALL TO ACTION FOR SUPPORT:
The DCARA Board of Directors and Staff still need your help! The fight with racist former DCARA board members is not over. DCARA staff, executive director, and Board of Directors are still fighting against racism, oppression, hostility, and intimidation by the former board members who are racists. This ongoing fight is causing enormous stress for DCARA staff.
GOOD NEWS!! THE NEW BOARD LEADERSHIP IS COMMITTED TO ANTI-RACISM WORK
We are excited about the all-new board members, Liann’s new leadership, and recommitment of forged allies within our communities. This GoFundMe is our way of showing our support for new leadership based on anti-racism work. We all must fight against former board members’ tools of racism by using lawsuits to oppress Black and Brown people. Your support makes a difference. Thank you!
Also, we are happy to share that the judge denied the temporary restraining order against Liann Osborne, DCARA Board President, and Raymond Rodgers, DCARA Executive Director, and stated that they shall continue to operate DCARA. This is possible because of your support. Thank you!
However, the fight is not over.
