DIVAS For Social Justice Robbed!

DIVAS (Digital, Interactive, Visual Arts & Sciences) for Social Justice is a grassroots community organization that wants to help bridge digital divide by combining media literacy, cultural awareness and an understanding of technology to encourage young women of color to pursue careers in computer science and new media.

Next week they're sponsoring a lecture/benefit called “Imagery & Its Power" with Marcia Harris, who will talk about the original use of the N-word in its historical context using visuals, DVDs, and a PowerPoint presentation to engage youth and adults in an open, honest, and historically revealing interactive discussion.

But earlier this week I got this email with unfortunate news:

I really need your help. I went to our office today and we had been robbed! I am so broken-hearted. All of our equipment was stolen. Donated and bought 5 iMac computers, 2 digital SLR cameras, DVD players,microphone kit, memory cards and an Epson printer.

Everything we used to train our girls on. When you sent out your email we got such a huge response. Please can you help us again?

More reason to come to  their benefit on December 1 at 6:30 PM:
