Jordan Peele wants to do his part to help the betterment of the Black community, as the United States and other countries force people to deal with racism through a slew of seemingly effective protests.
On Wednesday, June 10, Peele announced on Instagram that he’s splitting a $1 million donation across five organizations that he believes are crucial to the well-being of Black folks.
The organizations Peele chose are, Black Lives Matter, Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective, Equal Justice Initiative, Fair Fight, and Transgender Gender-Variant & Intersex Justice Project.
As Black Lives Matter previously has been ruled in court to be a social movement rather than a formal organization, it is not clear from Peele’s announcement what entity he is intending to donate to.
“Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions are proud to donate $1 million across five organizations we see as essential to the health and lives of Black people,” Jordan wrote.
