Overview
We designed the 828 Bracelet to: Honor our PAST: We remember and honor those that fought and died for equal rights. Support the PRESENT: Support today’s activists and their continued fight towards equality for all. Fix the FUTURE: We invest 15% of profits to supporting under-funded urban area schools. When you wear an 828 Bracelet you are showing your support for equality for all.

828 represents August 28th, a significant date in Black History/American History. The events that occurred on this date emphasize some of the challenges and triumphs in the fight for equality.

Unfortunately, there is still a persistent unfair division in this country that goes back generations. With The 828 Movement, we choose to 1) recognize and remember the past efforts, 2) respect the present pursuits for equality and 3) create hope for a brighter future.

By backing our campaign you are allowing us to call attention to continued challenges and struggles in certain areas across our nation (i.e., urban areas that are statistically disregarded and diluted), but also offer a solution to implement change.

 

Introducing the 828 Movement Bracelet

 

Prototypes

We have been working with our manufacturing partner to prototype the bracelet for sizing and feel. These prototypes will allow us to deliver this product to you fast, we just need your support for final production runs.

 

Made in the USA

We have chosen to have this bracelet manufactured in the USA. Supporting American manufacturing and everyone having access to a well rounded public education is something we should all be proud to support.

 

Who We Are

 

Is Education Equality a Real Problem?

Urban schools, especially those in high poverty areas are chronically under funded. The schools in these areas are more likely to have outdated resources like textbooks and science equipment.

This problem is not new, but it is also not being addressed adequately. This is where the 828 Movement wants to focus. We want to support these schools by donating money that will be used to update the resources students will have access to.

Where The Indiegogo Funding Goes

All funding from our campaign will be used to fulfill all rewards as soon as possible. Additionally, this money will be used to purchase the high production tools from our US based manufacturer. Any funding beyond the tooling expense will be used to help continue to spread our message of education equality and support Urban Area schools across the USA.

 

Urban Area School Donations 

It is important to us (and for our backers to know) that the money we donate will be made use of wisely and effectively. We will work with schools to understand their most needed resources (equipment, books, supplies, etc). Our first donation to Carver High School is a testament of how the 828 Movement can make and impact.

Principal Dr. Hines-Nettles, at Carver High School, responded:

"The leadership used the funds for ACT prep (tutoring and remediation). On October 18th, we had planned a full day boot-camp for seniors who will be taking the test in December, followed by before and after school tutoring and Saturday tutoring. The funds will be used to expand the ACT program for our students. This will be the first event of this type"
