Our big Bro @VicMensa has been a day one with us & supporting all of our work in the hood. We participated in @SMSLFoundation street medic trainings & the shoe give away. They’ve been giving out food & #MutualAid just like us. Let’s uplift their work!

We put out an emergency call for a new space because as a small (but mighty) nonprofit— our highest expense since beginning two years ago, have been our storage space. There are so many hidden expenses to make the production of our programming possible.
