Politically progressive Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey reportedly plans to donate $3 million to cop-hating, national anthem protester Colin Kaepernick’s social justice activism group, Know Your Rights Camp.
The organization states that its mission is “to advance the liberation and well-being of Black and Brown communities.” The group launched a fund last week to provide legal representation and resources to those arrested at protests and riots.
Dorsey tweeted that he is giving “$3mm to Colin @Kaepernick7’s @yourrightscamp to advance the liberation and well-being of Black and Brown communities through education, self-empowerment, mass-mobilization to elevate the next generation of change leaders.” His donation was made via his Small Grants fund, under which he has pledged to give away almost one-third of his wealth through stock holdings in his firm Square which are currently worth $1.7 billion.
Maybe Kaepernick and Dorsey could learn from rapper Kanye West, who donated $2 million not to rioters and looters but to rebuild black businesses.
