A scalable model for creating vibrant, healthy communities where Black and Brown people can live and thrive.
VISIT WEBSITEABOUT LIFE Camp
Erica Ford and her organization, LIFE Camp, is on the front lines of intervening in the violence that plagues Black and Brown communities, helping people heal and giving them the tools to live, build, and thrive. LIFE Camp has developed a scalable model – the Crisis Management System – which combats the traumatic living conditions in target communities. The vision: to abolish the racist systems that perpetuate poverty, high unemployment, crime and marginalization. The proof: radically effective – 67% decline in homicides in 2017 alone. The approach: radically human – 100% community found and led.
“Right now, we can’t breathe. This work that I do, this project, is our oxygen mask. I will do this work until my last breath.”
