Let’s say you have a badass job. A great job. You make $100 AN HOUR. You work 10 hours a day ($1000 A DAY), 5 days a week ($5000 a week!!!), every week ($20,000 A MONTH), thats $240,000 Every Year.

You want to make one billion in a human lifetime? If you made $10,000 an HOUR, 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, every week, all year, it would take you 41 years to hit a billion.

(And that’s not counting, ya know, money you spend to stay alive on food or rent or anything. )

Protect Black Trans Women.  Stop the murders of my sisters!

WHATS HAPPENING :

As someone of you know taylor-sleepisforlovers’ brother has been gay bashed and booked on false charges and we need your help. Taylor’s brother a UCLA Senior was assured by roommates after months of harassment. While in the process of moving out because he felt unsafe Willie was assulted by his roommates while homophobic slurs were yelled. Apartment campus police were called to the scene and willie was booked as a result of the three roommates conspiring against him. He has no family in LA Taylor and some family members are now there renting a hotel room after a 8.5 hour bus ride from Oakland and they need your help to stay another night and help willie.

UPDATE:

Since the first post there have been a couple of updates. The bail was raised from 5k to 50k and Taylor’s brother has been charged with robbery/abstraction of property while defending himself and his friend while being jumped. He was held down while three people (his former roommates) beat him while yelling homophobic slurs. As a gay non gender conforming black man he faces a higher chance of violence while incarserated and we need your help to ensure his safety. We have received the news that the trail is tommorrw and we still have no affordable representation the lowest quote we have gotten is 2,500.00USD another nights stay in a hotel is needed as well as bus fare back to Oakland from LA
