Every year I tell the socials to Give Black People Money for Juneteenth. 2026 ain't about to be different. Give a little, give a lot, give directly, give widely.
Black fam: you are invited to reply to this with your info/links!
Directly, if you can, to someone's Venmo, Ko-Fi, PayPal, Patreon, & etc.
Buy their art, books, music, jewelry, zine, or whatever else they create. Again, directly if possible.
Don't have money? I gotchu: Promote the heck out of their creations for the next week.
Check the notes for Black people to give money to if you don't know any personally (or if you do! You might find new, cool people).
Boost this post through the holiday weekend. Boost the Black people you know or find here through the weekend.
I can hear some of you saying: But Tempest, isn't asking for money cringe?
Let's not forget why Juneteenth is a thing. Let's not forget that here in the year of our Lort 2026 there are people in white houses saying the racist parts out loud every day. Money can't solve that or make it better.
It can give a person a spark of joy in dark times. Maybe they'll buy a nice dessert, or go out to eat when they normally couldn't, or pay a bill without having to stress. Maybe they will be so freaking excited someone bought that thing they made!
So, Black people: Ask. Everyone else: Give No shame, no shade.
