TCC4J Organizing Fund
Donation protected
The Twin Cities Coalition for Justice 4 Jamar (TCC4J) formed after the murder of Jamar Clark by the Minneapolis Police Department on the night of November 15, 2015. After the 4th Precinct Occupation, we recognized the need to continue gathering people around the fight against police crimes. We believe that this fight can and must unite the Black Lives Matter movement and everyday working people in the community.
TCC4J meets weekly to plan community meetings, marches and rallies, press conferences, and actions unite our community and pressure city, county and state officials to hold police accountable and end police violence in our communities.
We have worked in support of: Jamar Clark, Thurman Blevins, Philando Castile, Justine Damond, Terrence Franklin, Marcus Golden, Cordale Handy, Billy Hughes, Map Kong, Micheal Kirveley, Phil Quinn, Jaffort Smith, & many others ! In addition to organizing events to fight-back against police crimes, we have also helped to organize anti-racist and other movement solidarity events such as a Charlottesville Solidarity event in 2017, Cops Out of Pride actions in 2017 and 2018, and others. Right now, we are organizing to demand community control of the police
TCC4J has solely existed via funds donated by its active members. We've paid for all the flyers and signs and banners, the room rentals, the bullhorns, the childcare, transportation, and everything else along the way. We work hard, and what we're doing is important to us, so we donating funds feels right. Your support can help us sustain and expand our work, and ensure that money is never a reason to NOT do work that needs to be done.
The funds raised here will help fund our organizing. We have no staff and funds will not be used for staff or stipends. We also want to be clear that the money raised isn’t being donated to family or specific individuals. If the need arises to do such, we we have separate events which clearly state these facts and the family or individuals will have knowledge and/or participation in the specific fundraising.
