Since the 1970s, Black August has honored the legacy of Black resistance, political prisoners, and the ongoing fight for liberation. At BOSS, we continue this legacy by turning remembrance into action.

The Black August: The Arc of Liberation Commemoration is a powerful community gathering that honors the legacy of Black resistance while creating real-time access to healing, reentry support, and resources for justice-impacted individuals. This event is part of our larger Black August campaign, themed “Centering Resistance, Authenticity, and Community.”

🖤 Your donation makes this event possible—and impactful.

Funds raised will support:

• On-site wellness services including trauma-informed healing, mental health support, and harm reduction

• Community resource stations offering voter education, housing referrals, and peer advocacy

• Live performances and speakers amplifying voices of those directly impacted by incarceration and systemic oppression

• Free meals, school supplies, and essentials for families and youth

We’re raising $25,000 to help BOSS continue this legacy of liberation, healing, and visibility—from the block to the ballot to beyond.

This is where culture meets care. This is where resistance becomes resource.
