#LeadtoLife transforms weapons into shovels for tree planting ceremonies at sites impacted by violence in the U.S. (occupied Turtle Island)

To honor #MLKDay 2019, #LeadtoLife invites you to dream into and create our post-capitalist, post-white supremacist, post-colonial world, where the police state surrenders their weapons for the people to melt them into shovels to plant life that regenerates the land.

"Something in the stars is telling us to plant trees, food & medicine so we ain’t got to bury black babies no more... We are softening, we are dancing, we are mourning, we are reclaiming our time, we are holding space." Join us next week for our #ReclaimRadicalKingWeekend!

If you or someone you know has a gun they're looking to donate, please connect them to us! We're transforming guns into life-affirming tools that will be used to plant life here in Oakland. (We follow a legalized weapon transfer process in alignment with federal ATF regulations.)

Inspired by this innovative project led by #Oaklanders Kyle Lemle and @brontevelez to celebrate Dr. King’s legacy of nonviolence and honor those in our community lost to gun violence. https://t.co/ZjcW63pcaA

“At the core of the faith traditions is something very profound that we don’t have to reinvent. We can come back to the truth of [these traditions]...People want to sing together, they want to heal...They want to feel spirit.” —@brontevelez https://t.co/WnYN5iuzwE

In April 2018, #LeadtoLife transformed 50 guns into 50 shovels to plant 50 trees to honor the 50th anniversary of Dr. King’s assassination. Watch our short film "Serotiny" to learn about the beauty that took place in ATL. https://t.co/JN866YAFie
