SPONSOR DETROIT STUDENTS!

Dear Affirmative Action Supporter:

I think people should sponsor students for the Washington, D.C. March because the students are the future. We need to march 100,000 strong in Washington, D.C. and without ample funding this will be impossible. Even though many students may be unable to pay, they should also be given a chance to march wince it affects them as well. Although the BAMN chapter at my school has held numerous bake sales and fundraisers, selling chips and pop will not get us all to the march.

Detroit, we need your help! Please help us any way you can because you can because although it might not directly affect you, sooner or later it will affect your children and the generations to come. Click on the Paypal button above to make your donation.
