Referencing his work at Galaxy investing in criminal justice reform initiatives, Schultz touts many existing relationships with Black community organizers. “We believe one of the best ways Black communities is by building the political power they deserve and help them get the officials they deserve, the local officials they deserve. So while we're having this moment where people want to lean in and support Black communities, if we can translate that energy into political power and organizing power, we're really excited to do so,” said Schultz. This Wednesday, Jphoto, shows the plans for a the mural being painted on Woodward Ave., in downtown Detroit. We already have the heroes we need, they just aren't connected to all the resources. We do a lot of criminal justice reform work so we're funding a lot of these leaders already in different capacities so we've had these relationships for a while. I think in general, in life, I'm here to be a bridge and just try to connect dots as best I can,” he added.
Within a few hours, Schultz said close to 1,000 donors had committed to #DefeatbyTweet, with the average donation coming in around $175 per tweet. Actors Noah Centineo and Olivia Wilde are among the influencers who have signed on to promote the initiative.
