[ID: A graphic with a white background and two thin yellow borders at the top and bottom spotlighting BYP100. In the top left corner, there is a beige teardrop shape with BYP100’s circular logo—a raised fist in red, black, and green against a yellow background; “BYP” in red and “100” in green written on the forearm; a thick black border with “Black Youth Project 100” in downward curved yellow text at the top, and “Unapologetically Black” in upward curved green text at the bottom; they are separated by two red circles with a black circle in the center.![]()

To the logo’s right, is our logo against the Give OUT Day logo—a white cat paw with purple paw pads, yellow nails, and a matching yellow wrist bone jutting out against a black, white, and purple circle shaped like a planet; “Queer Cat” is above the paw in purple font, and “Productions” is on a purple ring in front, like the rings of Saturn. To the right, yellow text reads, “Queer Cat Spotlight." In-between our logos, there’s a black outline illustration of a mouse pointer over a globe next to their website URL in green text, BYP100.org, and three similar illustrations of the Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter logos—a camera, an outline of an F, and a bird, respectively—next to their handle for each platform, @BYP100. ![]()

Black text underneath reads, “The BYP100 Education Fund is a national member-based organization of 18- to 35-year-old Black activists and organizers, dedicated to creating justice and freedom through a Black queer feminist lens.
