How We Got Started

The Action for Justice Collective was established in 2020 by a group of concerned community leaders, business owners, athletic coaches, and friends who came together on a Zoom call to support each other while grappling with the reality of George Floyd's murder by local police. After a 90-minute session, the group discussed and not just complaining about senseless violence in the community but being part of the solution. At that moment, they decided to act and, be the community's solution rather than just complainers. And so, the Action for Justice Collective was born.
