When Racism Strikes, Here’s How to Record It

“While some statistics are kept by law enforcement agencies, the numbers often don’t include the everyday reality for people of color. Racialized people have a long history of being targeted by authorities and may not feel safe reporting to police; police could be the group causing the harm, there can also be language barriers and, even if reported, not all incidents will meet the threshold for a crime. But increasingly, grassroots organizations across North America are collecting data in that gray zone. That data is now becoming a crucial part of shaping solutions, supporting advocacy, changing laws and strengthening allyship.”

EVENT: Harvest Chop Party for the Hungry

Help us feed the hungry this upcoming holiday season by joining Destiny Community Café, Charleston Surfrider, Rheos and Charleston GOOD in a small, fun, social distancing event. The chopped vegetables and proceeds from the event will go towards the 1,000 holiday meals distributed by Destiny Community Café to the Tri-County area of the Lowcountry. All meals will be delivered in sustainable packaging thanks to Rheos’ sponsorship!
