Weathered Souls brewing has created a project called Black is Beautiful.
“The Black is Beautiful Initiative is to bring a collaborative effort amongst the brewing community and its customers, in an attempt to bring awareness to the injustices that many people of color face daily. Our mission is to bridge the gap around for ages and provide a platform to show that the brewing community is an inclusive place for everyone of any color.In the collaboration efforts, we would like a portion of the proceeds to go to your local foundations that support police brutality reform and legal defenses for those who have been wronged.”
The North Seattle Homebrewers strive to be an inclusive group that supports racial equality and justice and are excited to take part in this project. With the kind support from Skagit Valley Malting, Imperial Yeast and Micro Homebrew, those interested will all brew this beer and donate as able (and encourage others to donate) to local foundations. There are many great organizations out there. A few that we will be focusing on are:
Seattle-King County Black Lives Matter: https://blacklivesseattle.org/
The Innocence Project: https://www.innocenceproject.org/
The Loveland Foundation: https://thelovelandfoundation.org/loveland-therapy-fund/
You can also join in by signing petitions and contacting your lawmakers.
