Well over 500 people watched the live-stream event marking the Coalition’s 25th anniversary on March 29^th. The event included a moving video history of the founding of the organization told by the people who made it happen. That history was followed by an address by the Honorable Tahesha Way, Secretary of State of New Jersey. Reflections on being raised here were shared by SZA alongside her mom, Program Director Audrey Rowe. The live panel moderated by WNYC’s Nancy Solomon offered more details about current work and why trustees and volunteers are so passionate in their support of the mission.

We are grateful to all the people who attended. Please share this video! We look forward to another 25 years of progress and to sharing this work with other communities.
