Giving Today for a Brighter 2021
In a year that has exposed the deeply systemic racial inequities, a growing wealth gap, housing struggles and evictions, and a federal government slow to act, it is clear more needs to be done. We recognize that the many protests across the nation and globe in the summer months of this pandemic after the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, as well as those who felt their rights being threatened, it is simply not enough to sustain and ensure systemic policy and cultural change.
At Denny Civic Solutions, as community members of Pittsburgh, we know we must remain constant in our efforts to build a better, brighter future through actions, building relationships, and showing up. For this giving season, we encourage you to donate to organizations in the Pittsburgh community working toward racial and economic justice, policy change, and a more equitable society through contributions from individuals like you.
