LEN RAGOZIN FOUNDATION: Advancing Progressive Ideas and Actions
We provide support for groups working on innovative ways to put progressive ideas into practice. Groups working on topics from education to immigration and the fight against racism in all its forms, are challenged to create ways to bring about meaningful change in a measurable way in the real world.
In addition, the Foundation sponsors activities through our own initiatives. We are alert to social justice issues and search out ways to play a role in changing the world for the better.
On June 1, 2021, Newark undercover plainclothes police attacked four young Black men–the Rodwell Spivey brothers–in front of their home in the South Ward of Newark, NJ. According to police complaint, the cops stopped the Rodwell Spivey brothers because they were “wearing white t-shirts and dreads”--clearly racially profiling and targeting them because they were Black. The Rodwell Spivey brothers are now facing charges of up to 30 years in prison for simply defending themselves against a racist police attack. One of the brothers, Justin Rodwell, has been imprisoned in Essex County Correctional Facility since June 1, 2021 without a trial.
We have supported "Hoops for Justice“ for many years. This is the 9th 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.
