The Monument Relocation Committee is asking the community to help us relocate the confederate monuments from the Bastrop County Courthouse lawn by making a donation to fund the project. Your gift in any amount will help move the Obelisk and the Sayers memorial to an appropriate new location within the county. The relocation effort has two goals: (1) help Bastrop County promote an environment of racial equality and (2) ensure that the history these two monuments represent is preserved.
We have 4 viable site locations for the monuments and hope to make a recommendation to the court in November. However to meet the projected budget cost, we need the help of the community. The project cost is $50,000 and we have currently raised just over $15,000. Please contribute and share our ask across your social media platforms, with friends, family, and any business contacts you may have to help our efforts. ANY donation is welcomed however we are really needing those who are able to make a larger monetary contribution to help push us where we need to be because we are committed to raising the funds from private sources so that taxpayer's our not impacted by this initiative.
Please donate in one of the following ways: • Online at https://www.bastropconfederatemonumentrelocationfund.org/
or by mailing your check to P.O. Box 136, Bastrop, TX 78602.
Make checks payable to the “Confederate Monument Relocation Fund.”
Thank you all for your continued support.
