BLF MISSION

The mission of the Black Liberation Fund is to free the Black community. The  Black Liberation Fund works to alleviate obstacles and hardships that the stigma of incarceration brings to Black families and incarcerated persons through an abolitionist framework offering direct services, education, advocacy, and resources. ​

BLF VISION

We envision a world without mass incarceration and the institutions that currently support it.  We offer resources and sustainable alternatives to imprisonment through programming, community partnerships, and advocacy to help Black families and communities affected by the prison industrial complex. We are building our own healthy and sustainable communities.

BLF SUPPORT

The Black Liberation Fund supports bail, legal services for those affected by the criminal system and assists in community record clearing (expungement and pardons).  We are growing a volunteer base of supporters,  and a current need for the Black Liberation Fund is continued fundraising to continue sustaining needs for those helped and expansion into recidivism and post-incarceration work. Also, BLF is looking to connect with other abolitionist and incarceration resource organizations to build our network of resources. If you have any questions email us at blackliberationfund@gmail.com, donate or fill out our volunteer form.

OUR DIRECTOR

Liberated not Subjugated
Eliminating the incarceration stigma of the Black community.
 
 
Activist. Leader. Visionary.
In 2020, through the protests of the unjust arrest and murder of George Floyd, Latisha co-founded a grass roots foundation to assist in the bail outs and legal coverage of those fighting for justice.
 
In 2021. She transitioned the foundation to a 501c3 to expand the services to the necessary aftercare and stable integration back into the community for previously incarcerated individuals.  Latisha has a community background assisting with local child development which includes technical skills, curriculum, and education. In addition, she has a bachelor’s degree in mass communication from Claflin University which allows her to capitalize on her public relation skills connecting the dots to create community by filling in the gaps of visibility of issues that need to be addressed and corrected.
 
Latisha identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, is a mother of two young boys and her personal mission is to make a significant impact in her works so that her sons and the generations to come will be able to experience a better opportunities, better equalities and increased equity in and for a better America.  You will often find Latisha on the frontlines advocating for people who have had their voice stripped away by the systematic process that strips away your basic rights as an American citizen once a person becomes a part of the criminal justice system.
