Kashif respectfully acknowledges our occupation on the unceded ancestral homelands of the Munsee Lenape & Canarsie peoples as well as the stolen land that makes up the greater occupied territories of Turtle Island.
Stolen land. Stolen people.

We seek to inspire healing and foster understanding by channeling the abolitionist spirit of our ancestors.

Acknowledgement alone cannot bring us into right relationship; we seek justice for all of our collective identities to be able to live within their dreams, thrive with dignity, and realize self-determination.
