Imam Jamil Al-Amin has returned to Allah. A life committed to truth, dignity, and liberation. They tried to break him, but his spirit never bent. His innocence was clear. His voice never wavered. We will carry his legacy forward.

May Allah grant him peace and the highest ranks of Jannah. Ameen.v

We served hot food, clothes, and groceries with Mu Sigma Upsilon today, and two high school seniors showed up to volunteer. One has been with BLM Paterson since 6th grade, and the other was once my 3rd grade student. Community is a verb.

Every Friday night since 2020 we distribute hot plates, sandwiches, water & clothing. In the winter we add hot chocolate. It’s getting colder out and we are seeing more people come that we are going to have to increase the amount of food we order

We do this because we believe in the value of life.

"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't pulled the knife out; they won't even admit that it's there." —Malcolm X

Imagine not having a place to shower. Days without being able to get clean. Nowhere to go.
We already have the shower trailer. We just need a truck to haul it so we can bring free showers and dignity to people in NJ.
We are only a few hundred dollars short. Every dollar helps.

We do this because no one deserves to be forgotten. No one deserves to be discarded. Every life we meet out here has value. Every person deserves to be seen.

We started our mutual aid project during the summer of 2020. I wanted to set up a food share deep in the hood. I wanted to make sure the most disenfranchised were getting resources including PPE. I told the crips on the block about the idea. They was all for it.

5 years later. Still going strong.

You can’t overdose by touching fentanyl. It’s a myth. The notion comes from the right wing and cops. Do you believe them over doctors and science?

ChatGPT can’t wish you a happy birthday. Only people who actually value you can.

For my birthday this year I’m asking for small donations to support ongoing community work!

We hosted our very first Halloween party this year. Families came out for candy, groceries, a cookout, and plenty of games for the kids. It was a pumpkin smash.

We do frequent community events and would love your support.
