Exciting Update!

Thanks to incredible support during the last 48 hours, we’ve raised $15,492, including matching funds!

We still have $7,250 to go to fully leverage our matching gift. And being the go-getters we are, we're raising our year-end goal from $15,000 to $30,000. This amount includes the matching funds that double the impact of our programs and advocacy for Black, Brown, and LGBTQ+ individuals across Chicago.

There’s still plenty of time to help us reach our goal. Community persistence is resistance!

Together, we can rise stronger and ensure no one is left behind.

Resist with BSA!
