Fundraiser Artwork
What is this?
This is a fundraiser for organizations related to the current 2020 Police Brutality Protests. For this particular fundraiser, there are many organizations that need donations, so we will be aggregating a list of them down below.
How did this work?
Send the receipt from your donation to any organization to doodledonations@gmail.com or DM @doodledonations on instagram with the reference photo you would like drawn. Any amount will do. You can visit the COVID-19 Fundraiser on the next tab to see what past doodles have looked like (though, the style will be more varied this time around).
RESOURCE COMPILATION
(This is an incomplete list of resources I found on the online, taken from #blacklivesmatter threads on twitter and instagram. Please correct me if any information is outdated/invalid. I will accept receipts from any organization not listed here as well.)
NOTE: this information is overwhelming. GOOD. 400+ years of being treated as everything other than human beings is overwhelming. Forfeit the privilege if you have it and read a damn book.
Super Resource Compilations
[Petitions, Donations, Protests, Education, Contacts + More]
#BlackLivesMatter Wiki Doc - Contains many petitions, donation links for black owned small businesses and other larger fundraisers, detailed protesting tips/resources, extremely fruitful education section for allies and black people, including threads on mental health and LGBTQ groups, features contacts for important officials with connections to recent police brutality cases.
Black Lives Matter Info - (A little sloppy looking), contains petitions, further resource compilations, educational resources (free Yale course), and contact info for officials, accompanied by police complaint scripts.
Black Lives Matter Carrd - Very thorough resource compilation. Contains petitions, contact information with scripts, donation threads with resources on how to donate without money, separates donations into groups (victims, protesters, black owned businesses, organizations, more), resources for black mental health, accessibility for deaf and HoH, voter registration, AND SO MANY MORE COMPILATIONS.
Compilation Broken Down into Categories - Categories: Accountability, action, black business, support, and self care.
Support Black People MasterDoc - Resources with emphasis on Black (trans)women. Organizations to donate to, protest tips.
Shareable Anti-Racism Resource Guide (Google Doc) - "This anti-racist resource guide was crafted amidst the anger of the latest black body turned hashtag #AhmaudArbery. It is consistently being updated to address the current climate of our country and the personal growth needed to sustain this life-long journey." Utterly massive. HIGHLY organized.

STATEMENT
hey. my name is christian! nice to meet you. i started this thing because i woke up mad as butts. i was on twitter for like a couple hours before i got out of bed. just got absorbed in the mayhem of poor leadership, insufficient distribution of resources, the lives on the line, the lives lost, the narcissism. yeah you get it. i hated how unprepared we were. Are? and i hated that i was hating so much. and i was also envious of people doing things for some reason. tiktoks of people dancing with their families, people from italy and everywhere else singing from their balconies. i think i was envious that they were contributing to something greater than themselves and i was mentally shitposting about every systematic flaw that i deemed worthy of the guillotine. i didn't go to sleep that night, my mind was racing with an idea. maybe it's wrong to be doing something because i was upset with my own inactivity? maybe it came from my own narcissism or want for control? whichever side of personal morality the grandfather clock rests after the final tick tocks, i'll choose to follow through with the idea anyway.
the only difference between me and those that were doing something was that i wasn't doing anything. so now i'm doing something too.
these doodles are what i do to make myself laugh. i hope you can enjoy how crappy and weird they are too. i make other stuff too, which you can look at down below. and here's my personal twitter and instagram if you want to sleuth me out.
cheers,
Time
