Why? Community ownership.
This work takes resources: funding to support our time, materials, permits, trainings, Spanish interpreters, food, transportation -- the list goes on. We believe in our community’s leadership, in saying no to funding (from individuals, foundations, or corporations) that steers us away from our mission or compromises our values, and in being primarily accountable to the community most impacted by police violence. Individual and local business sustainers make that possible.
