This is how we came to know Manny. In late May his sister, Monèt, reached out to us for help with a gofundme for legal help. Today, we're asking that you donate $33 and her a message to let her know that we are still here, fighting with her.

The night Manuel Ellis was murdered, he had been at church. Today, we will honor his faith, alongside faith leaders in Tacoma, to show the city that not much has changed since 1917.
After having her tent intentionally set on fire, a member of our community is in need of shelter, food, warm clothes, and much needed safety items. If you're able, please direct funds to $StoryQuilt on CashApp. And share, share, share.
The folks who are caring for her wanted us to relay that they deeply appreciate the offer for in-kind donations, but they are not in the position to coordinate drop offs, pick ups, and/or deliveries.
