Good Bunny Foundation, a Puerto Rico-based nonprofit formed by multi-platinum international music artist Bad Bunny, pledged a $1 million contribution to Know Your Rights Camp, founded by activist Colin Kaepernick. The multi-year contribution will further the reach of Know Your Rights Camp to Latinx youth and allow for the expansion of the Legal Defense Initiative, as well as KYRC’s digital platforms that allow closer connection with youth in the wake of COVID-19.
Kaepernick founded Know Your Rights Camp to support the advancement of Black and Brown communities while addressing racial inequality and police brutality. Know Your Rights Camp recently launched two new efforts, The Legal Defense Initiative and the COVID-19 Relief Fund. The Legal Defense Initiative partners with top defense lawyers and civil rights lawyers nationwide to provide legal resources for those who have been arrested or have been a victim of police brutality while fighting injustice. The COVID-19 Relief Fund provides support to Black and Brown people who are more likely to be infected, less likely to be tested, less likely to be treated and more likely to die from COVID-19.
Know Your Rights Camp is a fund of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF). EIF is a Charity Navigator Four-Star Charity that meets all 20 Better Business Bureau charity standards and carries the GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency.
