An East Village community raffle for Black Lives Matter

The folks at East Village Postal, 151 First Ave. between Ninth Street and 10th Street, have organized a community raffle to raise funds for Black Lives Matter.

Here's how it works:

100 percent of all ticket sales will be donated to Colin Kaepernick's Know Your Rights Camp and the Equal Justice Initiative.

Each ticket is $5. For multiple entries, please purchase in increments $5. You can purchase tickets by venmo @eastvillageraffle and leave your email or phone number so that we can contact you if you win. To purchase tickets in cash, please purchase your ticket at our shop.

THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE! We just found out that Venmo limits our weekly transfers so we decided to make our first donation! Out of the $7900 that we raised so far, we made our first donation of $4000 to @eji_org. Our donation was matched 2:1 by a friend’s corporate matching program, growing our first $4000 contribution to $12000 🤍 thank you Melina for having your company match our donation, all the vendors who have donated their services and gifts, and our NYC community for such an outpour of love! 🤍 let’s keep this going! Next week we will post our second donation!
