Funds for Business with Sand N-word Spray Painted

Donation protected
This hate happened recently in La Crosse, Wisconsin. A racial and Islamophobic slur “Sand Nigger” was found on the company building of a Muslim business owner in La Crosse. If you want to support, here is a way. All proceeds raised will go directly to the impacted local business for repair, security cameras, paint, etc. No amount is too small.

February is Black History month, a month that is meant to recognize the contributions and role of blacks in U.S History, but instead in La Crosse, Wisconsin we are dealing with this horrible incident.

We need to send a clear message. NOT IN LA CROSSE. Hate Has NO Business Here. All are Welcome!
