PROGRESSIVE IDEAS IN PRACTICE

We have supported "Hoops for Justice“ for many years. This will be the 12th Annual event. "Hoops for Justice” was founded in remembrance of Shantel Davis & Kimani Gray, young Black workers murdered by the NYPD. This tournament was brought together by tragedy and now we bring the community together in celebration of Shantel & Kimani’s life.

We are proud to announce our 2025 Summer of Action. Following the path the Foundation laid over the past two summers, we have selected Boston as the focus this year. By integrating education through shared experience, study and action, we continue our mission of putting progressive ideas into practice.

We will address the rights of immigrants and counter the racist propaganda that is being promoted by those opposed to legal immigration to this country. Boston has become a target of the Trump administration because it is a sanctuary city. Many residents of Boston and surrounding towns are protesting the illegal arrests of immigrants made by ICE agents. Volunteers will come to Boston to support these protests by educating ourselves and the community about the history of anti-racism in Boston.

To that end, we will learn from an earlier fight against racism in Boston 50 years ago over desegregation of Boston public schools. We will open with a reunion of volunteers who came to Boston to participate in an anti-racist Freedom Summer Project in 1975. With the Boston 1975 volunteers sharing their knowledge and experiences with the Boston 2025 volunteers, the anti-racist torch will be passed to a new generation.
