Today is the 15th anniversary of my beloved father’s death, for whom @ThurmanPerryFDN is named for. Today begins the 4th cycle of The Perry Second Chances Scholarship. We are awarding 10 justice-impacted women across the U.S. $4,000 each! Apply today: theperryscholarship.org
@ThurmanPerryFDN @GeauxGabrielle Looking forward to joining this amazing panel!
@ThurmanPerryFDN @GeauxGabrielle @SerenaLiguori4 We are looking forward to this needed conversation about period equity.
People ask why we at @ThurmanPerryFDN dont send trucks to the jails like we do to the prisons. And that’s because I LIKE going to the jails to talk to the corrections staff and check on the women time to time. They need to see my face and know Im pulling up regularly.
If we don’t change a THING at @ThurmanPerryFDN, not ONE thing, we’ll still have raised $1.5 MILLION by 2030 with no staff, no employees, no physical location, and helped WELL OVER 10,000 women per our mission statement (we already at 4,803). That’s a goddamn good job to ME.
HAPPY NATIONAL PERIOD ACTION DAY! Our commitment remains the same as the only organization in the U.S. tangibly addressing menstrual equity for incarcerated women & girls We are donating ~13K pads to prisons this coming week bringing us to a total of 200,000 products donated!
Of the 4 currently incarcerated women who have been recipients of The Perry Second Chances Scholarship, one of our own is being released today. Our hearts are full knowing second chances are possible. And we wish Christina peace, success, and healing on this new stage of life 💜
When we say that we're an organization that supports women and girls impacted by incarceration, we mean those who have suffered incarceration in the past and present, and the daughters of incarcerated people.
OOPS ALL BADDIES @ThurmanPerryFDN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We at @ThurmanPerryFDN support trans women applying to our programming and if you dont like it, pull up and whoop my ass. I’m not hard to find. And that’s on my daddy.
Last week, a man told me “You walk around like anything you do actually matters.” We just got the updated data from all the prisons we serve through @ThurmanPerryFDN & coupled w/ our scholarship & our housing relief fund, we have aided 4,803 women & girls in 2.5 years.
We gotta raise $28,500 going into this holiday season to have enough for our scholarship cycle to surpass the $100,000 mark in total. Any donations you can spare would help us so much! We really need the funds y’all! ThurmanPerryFoundation.org/donate
It goes to our annual scholarship, The Perry 'Second Chances' Scholarship, which helps currently and formerly incarcerated women and the daughters of incarcerated people pursue higher education to better themselves and their community. theperryscholarship.org
The fans have been delivered! It’s going up to 90 degrees today and our sisters in Bedford and Taconic requested larger fans for their cells and bunks. We’re grateful to each of you who contributed to raise 18k for us, @ThurmanPerryFDN and @EddieGibbsNY to make this possible.
1,402 organic menstrual products packed, ready, and delivered to Orleans Parish Prison! In 1 year and 11 months, we at @ThurmanPerryFDN have now donated 151,583 organic menstrual products to incarcerated women in Texas and Louisiana! ThurmanPerryFoundation.org
