Members of the Kardashian crew are doing what they can to support the Black Lives Matter movement — not to mention, the families of recent police killing victims.
According to TMZ, Kanye West (a key member of the Kardashian crew, like it or not) donated a total of $2 million to the families of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, and set up a 529 college savings fund to fully cover tuition for Floyd’s 6-year-old daughter, Gianna.
The rap titan also made a separate donation to cover the legal costs for the Arbery and Taylor families. On top of that, Kanye reportedly plans to donate to several black-owned businesses in his native Chicago and nationwide that have been affected by the civil unrest in the country.
Well, it took several days but this is one heck of a statement!

But he’s not the only one in the KUWTK-verse finally stepping up. Kourtney Kardashian just announced that her business, Poosh, will be making donations to the NAACP and The Bail Project in response to the senseless police killing of Floyd.
In a message shared on Kourt’s IG page, the 41-year-old said she’s pledging to keep fighting against racism until “racism and inequity cease to be a trending topic.” She wrote:
“As the founder of @poosh, I think it’s important to make a pledge that lasts beyond today. We pledge to continue the conversation when racism and inequity cease to be a trending topic… We pledge to do the work required, not just in this moment but in the future, to keep ourselves educated, to keep the doors open for safe and honest dialogue, even if it’s uncomfortable. And we pledge to share this information with you, our community.”
The reality star went on to say she’s donating to organizations she believes are committed to creating a more equal society for all people.

And she’s not just stopping there. Kourt said Poosh is committed to supporting black-owned businesses and promoting their products, noting:
“We are committed to highlighting black and minority-owned businesses, their products, and their stories, as well as making a conscious effort to ensure our team of collaborators and our content and imagery always reflect the diversity of our community.”
