Jakey's Run For Racial Justice

I support the Black Lives Matter Movement, and I want to run.

This is my friend, accountability buddy, colleague, and fellow Search Inside Yourself teacher, Jason Gant. Last weekend, he sat in the middle of the carpool lane on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, in protest to what happened to George Floyd, and to what happens everyday to Black individuals throughout the country.

As a bi-racial individual myself, and public educator who experienced burnout, I want to take care of myself during this time, and I want to contribute, in part, in a monetary way, to an organization that specifically supports students of Color in accessing quality educational experiences.

For the month of June, I pledge to run 1 hour a day, 6 days a week.

If you feel so inclined, support me in this pledge. It could be as little as 1 cents per mile, to $1 per mile, to $10 per mile, to as much as you’d like to contribute, per mile. 100% of what’s raised will go to “A Better Chance” — Supporting students of Color with access to quality educational experiences, via “Pledge it.”

See the below link, or the link in my bio.

Thank you, and please keep having the difficult conversations that are necessary to change our culture, and the regard for Black life.
