The Freedom School🖤

With a month to go before the Homies Empowerment Freedom School welcomes its inaugural class of ninth graders, the team is putting the finishing touches on the school, filling shelves with books about social justice and freedom movements and hanging pictures of freedom fighters along the walls. In the wake of a break-in and burglary last weekend, which resulted in the loss of laptops, projectors, a power saw, and microphones, Homies Empowerment has received an outpouring of community support. Only a few days after launching a fundraiser to replace the stolen items and pay for additional security measures, the organization has received more than $14,000 in donations.
