The Seattle Children's March Fundraiser
Donation protected
The Seattle Children’s March is inspired by The Birmingham Children’s Crusade march of 1963, in Birmingham, Alabama, as Seattle’s youth wanted a platform more significant than a trend. A venue to demand an end to police brutality, anti-blackness, and systemic racism in this country.
Too long, black people and black children specifically have felt the weight of white supremacy, and they refuse to accept it. The children are our future and they will be seen and heard.
This march, on Saturday June 13, 2020, is led by youth of color and needs resources in order for their supporting communities to show up safely and in solidarity with black and brown youth’s demands for the future of their city and for their country.
The children of Seattle envision a world where black children can live without fear of police brutality. A world where black girls from elementary to high school are allowed to express a full range of emotions without being perceived as angry or aggressive. A world where black boys are not seen as men from the moment they sprout their first facial hair. A world where gender fluid children do not have to hide their feelings from parents or peers. The children see a hate free world, and they will not stop until it’s a reality.
Your donation will support the organization of the march. All funds raised above and beyond the needs of this march will go to support youth-selected, youth-prioritized local community-based organizations to continue the powerful work happening in our communities. We are setting a precedent in fundraising for not only this march, but sustainability in this movement for black lives and police accountability, and in community-based assets and community-based solutions.
Join us on Sat. June 13th, from 1pm-4pm at Garfield High School Track and Field as we march in solidarity with our youth leadership and the power of the children.
