Community Support For Project Relief

Support Our Community Fund: 

Project Relief is one of the most essential organizations in Maine—and we are Black-led. Since 2019, we’ve been a lifeline for our community, fighting for racial justice, offering mutual aid, and dismantling systems of white supremacy. We’re not just responding to the immediate crises; we’re challenging the deep-rooted injustices that have oppressed Black and marginalized communities for generations.

Our work has saved lives. This past winter, we helped a two-month-old and her mother who were seeking asylum and had no place to go. They were sleeping outside because there was no room in local shelters. We provided them with diapers, food, clothes, and much more. This is just one example of how we’ve supported unsheltered communities because the system has failed them.

We have helped take down a white supremacy training camp, supported countless victims of police brutality and racism, and have stood at the frontlines when others were silent. We’ve also sheltered 25 individuals and families, including children, since this past winter who were sleeping outside.

The harsh reality is that Black-led organizations like ours aren’t receiving the support we need. Since the media has turned away from the Black Lives Matter movement, the vital work happening on the ground is being overlooked, underfunded, and ignored.

We cannot fight these battles alone. Allies, it’s time to step up. If you believe in justice, if you care about dismantling racism and creating a better future for all of us, then we need you to show up—now. Your donation to our community fund is not just a gesture; it’s a statement. It’s a declaration that you’re standing with Black communities, with racial justice, with those who the system has failed, and with those who are putting in the work, day in and day out.

This is about more than support—it’s about survival. It’s about ensuring that organizations like Project Relief continue to exist, thrive, and lead in the fight for justice. The work we do is too important to fall by the wayside. Every dollar you donate keeps us in the fight. Every donation keeps our community resilient.

 Show up for us, and we’ll continue showing up for you. We encourage our supporters to become monthly donors if you have the financial means to do so .Your ongoing contributions will help us sustain our efforts. 

Thank you for your support and contribution.✊🏾✊🏾
