As Donald Trump hatemongers his way into history, One People's Project sees the role we play in reporting on hate activities expanding and keeping us very busy.
Today's neo-Fascists (yeah, we know they like to call themselves "alt-right", but we prefer to call them what they are) think they have the momentum because their guy is in the White House, but they are wrong. We do. We who have been fighting them long beforehand. Antifascist groups and individuals who were long underground are getting a closer look by those who want to know how to keep the threat of Fascism buried, and they do so because they were the ones who did not listen when they were told to ignore the fash. We now see the costs of ignoring them - and the benefits those who didn't bring to the table.
We have always been a well-grounded organization because we all have day jobs and our members are a part of the communities they live in. But each and every day we have seen the need to do this work well beyond the parameters we have maintained for this long. Two years ago, we announced our plans to build a research library and archival (http://onepeoplesproject.com/index.php/opinion/daryle-lamont-jenkins/1314-one-peoples-project-needs-your-help-to-go-to-the-next-level), but, as many know, that has hit a rough patch due to our fiscal sponsor, resulting in our inability to receive tax-deductable donations. In addition, we still have to continue our work reporting on the issues and concerns that we face with right-wing groups and individuals. Expanding that will also require resources.
One People's Project has established itself as a go-to source of information on issues pertaining to the right, particularly the racist right, but as we have no corporate sponsors and depend on the support of individual readers who share our goal of building a better society free of the hate politics we have dealt with for generations, we are asking for your help to start structuring our organization to be more viable and efficient. We are looking to raise only $5,000 or more at this time to put us in that position. With that, we will become a full-on non profit organization and we can return to efforts to establish our library. We will also be able to not only send more reporters out into the field but also host and participate in events that will promote the unity we champion. Those who wish to keep their donation private, including your name, comment and/or Facebook photo from others visitor and search engines, simply click the ‘Private’ checkbox during the donation process.
Will you please help?
