We Are Fighting Food Insecurity in Our Community.

Together, We Can Do More.

2025 reminded us of a truth we know well: when systems fail, our people do not.

This year, our communities have faced everything from ICE and immigration violence, structural neglect from the increased criminalization of Black communities and caregivers, to deep cuts to vital support systems that many depend on simply to survive. At every turn, our longstanding institutions have showed us that they were not built with our healing or our freedom in mind.

Across Los Angeles County, thousands of families are feeling the impact of delayed and underfunded SNAP benefits this holiday season. The people hit hardest are the same community members already carrying the long-term weight of incarceration, police violence, economic instability, and shrinking social services.

We organized food distributions when families went hungry.
We advocated and fought back when our neighbors were targeted.
We supported people coming home from incarceration as they rebuilt their lives.
We created spaces for rest, joy, healing, and collective power.

This is abolition in action, not a future theory, but a practice we live every single day.

Still, we remain committed.
Showing up for our people is our practice of transformative justice.
It is how we help create healing in communities harmed by state violence and under resourcing.

Our DPN community is facing a wane in resources. We need your support to close this gap.

This moment is urgent.
This Giving Tuesday, the call to help us help others couldn’t be louder.

Dignity and Power Now has always believed in a world where all people are safe, housed, nourished, and honored. A world where families are not torn apart by policing or cages. A world where care is not conditional.

As we step into this Giving Tuesday, we are asking our community to continue investing in that vision: a vision already taking shape through our organizing, our mutual aid, and our commitment to Black leadership and liberation. Together, we are building the new world our people deserve.

Thank you for standing with Dignity and Power Now this Giving Tuesday. Every contribution fuels our collective fight against criminalization, family separation, and neglect, while building systems rooted in care. We are deeply grateful to build a future of freedom alongside you.

One act of solidarity at a time.

With gratitude,

Hilda Eke

Executive Director of Dignity and Power Now
