We are uniquely positioned in Oregon as the only organization dedicated specifically to Black TQN2SI+ Oregonians. Our team has been actively creating no-cop zones around community safety long before anyone shared a defund hashtag. Often putting our bodies on the line to ensure

Each team member, program participant, and board member is crucial to developing our strategy and uniquely qualified to deliver our services to the broader community. Our collective has a variety of connections to local and national trainers, writers, healers, artists, artists, musicians, policymakers, and many others who fight for an end to punishment-based responses to harm. Our success is grounded in the power we can build from our deep community connections, relationships, and member base.

Your donation helps us enhance the work we have already been doing for years and increase our capacity to offer culturally specific, accessible programming. This funding will help us continue to decolonize our hearts and our communities while also helping to maintain the programs we provide to the Black TQN2SI+ community.
