Twitter CEO and founder Jack Dorsey is giving $3 million to former NFL player Colin Kaepernick’s “Know Your Rights Camp.”

Describing “why” he is making the donation to Kaepernick’s group, the grants tracker reads, “Know Your Rights Camp has a mission to advance the liberation and well-being of Black and Brown communities through education, self-empowerment, mass-mobilization and the creation of new systems that elevate the next generation of change leaders.”

The group also has a COVID-19 relief fund located on its website, where it notes, “Hundreds of years of structural racism is making Black and Brown communities more vulnerable to the coronavirus. Black and Brown people are more likely to be infected, less likely to be tested, less likely to be treated, and more likely to die from COVID-19.”

According to the website’s latest statistic, $677,146 has been raised so far for the group’s coronavirus relief effort.

In a series of tweets, Dorsey noted other donations he made to organizations to help with the coronavirus pandemic.

His donations include $1 million to Dig Deep to “to connect remote indigenous homes to hot and cold running water so that tribal members, especially the elderly and the at-risk, can stay home and stay safe, and to make Navajo Nation more resilient to ongoing and future outbreaks.”

Additionally, he is donating $500,000 to Los Angeles’ SisterHearts Boutique and Thrift Store “to providing ex-offenders with a safe environment to achieve their goals with dignity,” among other donations.

Dorsey is donating a total of $88.5 million.
