It's truly incredible to see our Leadership Cohort Alumni stepping into radical roles of civil disobedience. Read the words of our friend Jason Fredlund: I was arrested yesterday for participating in an act of civil disobedience as part of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival organized by Moral Monday CT. As the CT State Capitol building loomed in the background, my mind was flooded with images of state-sanctioned violence: children being stolen away from their parents at the border, seemingly unending stories of police brutalizing Black people, the normalized economy of poverty, increasing voter restriction, an education system that disproportionately harms people of color--the list goes on. I refuse to sit by and silently watch as those in positions of power continue to make decisions that abuse and restrict the freedoms of people I love. Ya'll, getting arrested sucks--it's incredibly dehumanizing and isolating (and I recognize the incredible privilege I have in voluntarily subjecting myself to this). Please understand, I do not WANT to get arrested; no one should want that. However, I am WILLING to get arrested to stand in solidarity with the millions of people locked up in the age of mass incarceration and the tens of thousands of people organizing to end these cycles of poverty and violence. This was my third arrest, and until things get better, I'll continue to use my body and my voice to demand change.

Perhaps this is the moment...
The power of the Holy Ghost is present in the LGBTQ community. If you don't see that, you're not paying attention.
We're excited to share with you that Reformation Project has received the Contigo Fund Grant. The Contigo fund is a community foundation that exists to support a sustainable livable community for Floridians by promoting and increasing responsible philanthropy directed at agencies advancing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues. The Contigo Fund, an initiative of Our Fund Foundation, emerged from the Pulse tragedy to support the immediate recovery, intermediate rebuilding, and long-term transformation taken root in Orlando by offering financial assistance to organizations working to heal, educate, and empower LGBTQ and Latinx individuals, immigrants, and people of color, as well as those working to end all forms of bigotry in Central Florida. We are thankful for their partnership and are excited to create bigger, braver spaces to empower Latinx folks in the LGBTQ community. #Contigo #onepulse #loveislove
Today, we remember the family we lost in the Pulse massacre. May we never forget and never stop working for reform in our nation's policies and our churches a safer space for everyone. #onePulse #neverforget
This past week we had the pleasure of welcoming and on-boarding our newest staff member, Shae Washington! Thank you to all who have been so welcoming!
