TODAY is Giving Tuesday! 

We finally made it to the biggest global day of generosity. On this day of giving, individuals, communities, and organizations harness their power to effect positive change by encouraging philanthropy and celebrating generosity.

We hope you have decided to choose Black Children’s Books and Authors, Inc. (BCBA) as a trusted nonprofit to support. Your gift will help support our mission to promote awareness of children’s and young adult literature by Black authors.

One of the ways BCBA will do this is by purchasing books for children in underserved communities. “Research has shown that increasing access to books and giving children the choice to choose what they want to read improves academic performance and attitudes toward reading and learning.”

We can accomplish this with your help. A small—one-time or recurring—gift would mean so much to our organization. No amount is too small!

If you wish to send a donation, please send to:

BCBA | PO Box 34334 | Memphis, TN 38184

Thank you for considering BCBA as your Giving Tuesday charity!🙏🏿

Anyone wanna commission me? I need like 300$ ASAP in follow up to earlier funraiser post. We got the money for the car together somehow but we still need roundabout 300 for the registration and insurance.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you can't donate, spreading the word would already mean the world to us.

Personne ne soulève le vrai problème, celui de l’évasion fiscale, des riches qui ne participent pas à la hauteur de leurs moyens. C’est comme si j’étais à une congrès de pompiers et que personne n’était autorisé à parler d’eau”

“ But another panel member, Winnie Byanyima, an Oxfam executive director, took up the fight and said high employment was not a good thing in itself because many people found themselves in exploitative work. She cited the example of poultry workers in the US who had to wear nappies (diapers) because they were not allowed toilet breaks. “That’s not a dignified job,” she said. “those are the jobs we’ve been told about, that globalisation is bringing jobs. The quality of the jobs matter. In many countries workers no longer have a voice. Addressing Goldman, she said: “You’re counting the wrong things. You’re not counting dignity of people. You’re counting exploited people.” Billions of dollars were leaked by tax avoidance every year which should instead be going to alleviate poverty in the developing world, she added. “
