resources

(in progress) A library of works, individuals, and organizations committed to practicing transformative justice values. It would be great to include more local resources specific to san diego (occupied Kumeyaay territory). Ideally these would be all grassroots orgs (non-state funding), but for now it could include nonprofits with individuals/programs that are abolitionist-centered. If you have any resources to suggest or offer please reach out bloom.transformjustice@proton.me
