We believe that the support the American people receive from our government is laughable and being reduced at an alarming rate under the current administration. We believe, as did Howard Zinn that until all people of this nation come together to fight injustice and tyranny, nothing will change. We believe that as long as we allow ourselves to be divided by skin color, socioeconomic status, place of birth, ancestry, religion or any other minute perceived difference; The people of this nation will not prosper much less live in a humane, just or sustainable society. We say unite and see how much can change when we fund ourselves and not the current government.
Sourcery has a pick-up service for all donations. Please contact us to schedule a pick up. Additionally, let us know if you are interested in reading A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn and we will drop off a copy for you when we pick up your donation!
We are actively seeking other existing organizations and individuals who are supporting our community in positive ways. If you have a group or individual that you think Sourcery should support, please contact us.
