Lucy Hosley (Valentine Deli partner)

This Bronx grandmother had her business plans destroyed by looters she identified as Black Lives Matter during the Floyd race riots in NY (see video below).

Her righteous indignation and clearly-articulated plea against the race identitarian movement -- and the violence and destruction it manifests -- strongly moved me.

I'm from Minneapolis and have been watching as the seeds of this destructive philosophy have spread across the nation. Black people and "people of color" are those hit hardest.

Being from Minnesota, I feel a responsibility to do something tangible to help. Please help me raise some money for this woman to get her business back on its feet. I'm pitching in $50 myself.
