This rally is going beyond protest and putting resources towards the Black Power Blueprint Community Basketball Court. Pay reparations today by contributing at www.gofundme.com/f/communitybasketball ------------------------- A message from the Black Power Blueprint: We need your support to raise the $60,000 needed to build and surface a court with lighting, fencing, benches and bleachers, so that our community can have spirited youth ball programs, pickup games, leagues, tournaments and more . This is another black community-led project of the nonprofit African People's Education and Defense Fund that improves the well-being of our community and helps to close the huge disparities we face in overall health and life expectancy, including diabetes, obesity and hypertension rates. The Black Power Blueprint is transforming the black community of North St. Louis, not just with land, buildings, and a court, but with a sense of pride and a vision for a prosperous future once again.
