The Bakers Against Racism initiative was started by Washington D.C. chefs Paola Valez, Willa Pelini and Rob Rubba, explained Philadelphia chef Camille Cogswell.
"This was during the week of protests following George Floyd's murder. They decided that they were going to use their baked goods as a way to donate money to various organizations helping the Black Lives Matter movement,” Shelkowitz said.

Baker Ariel Einhorn said the spreadsheet shows who's involved and to what organization they're donating their proceeds. To help, all you have to do is order dessert from a baker on the list.
"And so the idea is that everyone picks up the baked goods on Saturday so it's kind of like a worldwide communal activity,” Einhorn said.
