As an organization committed to advancing justice, we are working to fight the inequities caused by COVID and against police brutality. Months ago we launched the COVID-19 Basic Needs Response Fund to fill unmet needs of the community, and now we have launched our Youth Justice Fellowship to train youth leaders to dismantle institutional racism and fight against racial injustice.
