The recent weeks have been challenging for so many communities, including ours. We were not built to keep up with so much mourning.
OppNet does the work we do so our communities can live free and build the life we want, to dance without getting shot, and to simply get home without dying.
Tyre Nichols was just trying to go home.
We have shared these resources before and here we are, needing them yet again. May we all be surrounded by love and care that fuels the hope and action for lasting change.
