Support is available for low-income families with children living in underserved neighborhoods in Nash, Wilson, Edgecombe, and Durham County. These essential resources can assist with rent and utility payments, as well as provide access to food and clothing. Families who are experiencing poor living conditions, such as infestations due to mismanagement and maintenance issues, can benefit from this support. Together, we can uplift the Black and Brown community and work toward a brighter future for all our families.
Kiity Genovese was a woman of Italian descent and a lesbian living in Kew Gardens, Queens—a predominantly Black and Brown community—her story highlights the painful realities of the Bystander Effect and racial bias in policing. Recent studies have revealed the impact of historical and systemic racism, illustrating how unconscious biases can shape responses to emergencies. In light of this, we are dedicated to providing resources for transitional housing and culturally specific violence prevention programs for minorities, and people of color, particularly supporting the Black & Brown communities. Together, we can work towards a safer and more compassionate community.
Trump's PROJECT 2025 targets the most vulnerable in our community by criminalizing unhoused individuals. In response, we are dedicated to providing crucial support to those individuals and their families who have been severely impacted by these harmful policies. We stand together to uplift those affected and advocate for a more compassionate approach.
