Project ASCEND is taking a stand against global genocide.
This year, we have distributed $1,000 in grant funding to support victims of genocide in Palestine, Sudan, the Congo, and Haiti!
Join us by donating to @ThePCRF, @HopeforHaiti, @congofriends, and @sdnsolidarity.

Underneath, text that says: “There are genocides and humanitarian crises all over the world in Palestine, Sudan, Haiti, and Congo. Project ASCEND has contributed $1,000 to organizations providing aid services to those most impacted. Join our efforts by supporting The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, Hope for Haiti, Sudan Solidarity Collective, and Friends of the Congo!”

Make sure you check out @Olas_Truth and @ProjectASCEND for resources on living with disabilities! #WorkingWOC
I'm disabled from a heart transplant. Our health suffers due to loneliness. Many professions are predominantly white & we spend most of our day at work.
The isolation from community & microaggressions we feel at work can cause depression, anxiety, & heart disease. #WorkingWOC
