This is unacceptable, @MoneyMartCanada. Threatening to call the police on a Black man trying to cash a cheque is downright racist. Contact Money Mart and let them know you support @Sterlingsjokes Phone: Toll-free: 1.800.361.1407 Email: [email protected] teapawt.net/Sterlingsjokes/status/…

One more hour left and $74 left to raise if we are to complete this campaign within 24 hours. I think we can do it. Please donate or share if you are unable to. gofundme.com/help-yeg-youth-…

The release of Black Panther is an incredible cultural moment for people of African descent. Click the link below to help give black youth in Edmonton a chance to be part of it. #ableg teapawt.net/blmyeg/status/95886794…
We believe in promoting Black excellence, so it is important that our youth not only see themselves on the big screen, but recognize themselves as the creators and superheroes that they are Support us in sending 50 Black Youth to see Black Panther gofundme.com/help-yeg-youth-…

Yesterday we hit our goal in less than 7 hours. So, we have decided to extend our goal so 100 Black kids can see Black Panther. I know we can hit this goal soon. Let's do it. We hope to fundraise $2726 by this Friday. gofundme.com/help-yeg-youth-…
