Philanthropists and activists Elsa Collins and Mia Wright talk about systemic racism and police violence against Black people and how they talk to their children about these issues. They talk about why it’s important to show up at the ballot box and how they are educating and supporting their communities to use their voices to make change. They also discuss working with communities of color to believe that their voices matter, dismantling white supremacy, and leveling the playing field for everyone.

Black people in the United States are three times more likely to be killed by the police than white people, with many killed when they are fleeing and unarmed. Research shows that few officers are held accountable for their actions.1 Racial justice requires not only confronting the legacy of racism in the criminal justice system, but also the economic, health, education, and other disparities between Black and white communities.

We need a cultural shift into believing our voices really matter [and] that they can make a difference.

This is About Humanity is a community dedicated to raising awareness about separated and reunified families and children at the U.S.-Mexico border. The This is About Humanity Fund at the International Community Foundation helps support individuals on either side of the border with essentials for living, access to legal services, mental wellness checkups, construction projects at shelters, and critical needs for unaccompanied minors.
The Little Market is proud to partner with This is About Humanity.
Since July 2018, we have collaborated with This is About Humanity to raise awareness and funds and advocate for human rights and safety. Through our partnership, we created special edition candles, hand-poured by women refugees in the United States, and totes, hand-sewn by artisan women in Bangladesh. For every piece in this collection, 50% will be donated to This is About Humanity. Together, to date, we have raised over $65,000 to support some of the most vulnerable populations.
