Adversity Campaign

Gearing up for International Pride month, we are so excited to have been invited as a vendor to participate at the local Carrollton Pride here in Texas. If you are in the area, please come visit our table June 4th from 11am-3pm where we will be raising awareness for our mission.

We will be handing out swag, and selling T Shirts while supplies last. Each shirt sold will result in 1 book donated. We want to wish a very happy Pride Month to all of our LGBTQ+ incarcerated and rehabilitating members 🏳️‍🌈

A jury has found Derek Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the death of George Floyd. Although justice is prevailed in the case of George Floyd, the work to fight against police brutality, white supremacy and reforming the american criminal justice system is far from over.

During this time we want to stand together in solidarity with our Asian brothers and sisters who have been deeply affected by the rise of Asian-hate crimes towards their community. We must do better. We must recognize that this type of injustice, racism and violence shall not be tolerated. We will not be silent.

“If it took the white majority more than two hundred years to understand that slavery was wrong, and approximately one hundred years to realize that segregation was wrong (and many still don’t understand), how long will it take them to perceive that American criminal justice is evil?” -Paul Butler

Quote taken from “Have Black Lives Ever Mattered?” This collection of short meditations written by author Mumia Abu-Jamal captures the past two decades of police violence that gave rise to Black Lives Matter while digging deeply into the history of the United States.

As a visionary leader Martin Luther King Jr. set out to affirm a racially just America. Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., an icon of the civil rights movement who paved the way for generations. These words of his are as meaningful and relevant as ever: “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character- that is the goal of true education.”
