Nehemiah Rising

" Laughter isn’t even the other side of tears. It is tears turned inside out. Truly the suffering is great, here on earth. We blunder along, shredded by our mistakes, bludgeoned by our faults. Not having a clue where the dark path leads us. But on the whole, we stumble along bravely, don’t you think?" ~ Alice Walker

We are Deeply Saddened! True Restorative Justice Warrior..gone too soon! Solidarity and Gratitude!

Chicago Community Bond Fund is heartbroken to share that Malik Alim passed away this weekend.

Malik joined CCBF's staff in December 2019 and quickly became a champion for the movement to end to money bond in Illinois. He worked as CCBF’s Advocate and represented the organization in many campaigns, such as the Budget for Black Lives. Malik’s previous role at CCBF was Campaign Coordinator for the Coalition to End Money Bond, in which he played an instrumental role in the passage of the Pretrial Fairness Act.

Today, you can join the Collective in honoring Malik’s life at the Breathing Room Gardens and Farm at 1434 W. 51st Street, from 2pm to 4pm. More information about Malik’s memorial and other community gatherings will be shared as soon as it is available.

CCBF’s community holds Malik’s children, partner, and family in our hearts and prayers. May his memory be a blessing to us all.
