Big Congrats to our Director of Guaranteed Income, Kevin Scott!! 🎉

In the latest issue of The Sun Magazine’s “Readers Write: The Courtroom” section, Kevin shares a beautiful piece reflecting on a recent experience supporting a friend in court from his perspective as a former prisoner.

Seeing his words in print is a powerful reminder of the strength of lived experience in advocacy and storytelling. Congrats on being a published author, Kevin. We love you!!!

We are absolutely thrilled to share that we hit our goal for our recurring donor campaign! Because of our incredible community of supporters, we surpassed our goal of 100 new or increased monthly donors.

We have unlocked the full $20,000 from Clint Smith and our anonymous donor! This sustainable funding ensures Community Spring can keep pushing our mission forward to disrupt the cycle of poverty and mass incarceration.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who believes in our work. It’s never too late to become a donor! Nobody should be too poor to be free.

The Civic Power Convening by The Sentencing Project was 🔥

It’s a rare and powerful thing when a national partner brings grassroots orgs and organizers together for such an intentional gathering. Real connections were made, wisdom was shared, and support was given in genuine solidarity with leaders on the front lines of civic engagement for formerly and currently incarcerated people.

As Community Spring continues to develop our Community Power Building initiative led by Julius Irving, we’re deeply grateful to be in this space and learn from movement pioneers who have been doing this work for decades.

Florida has a lot of work ahead, but we’re leaving inspired by what’s possible and energized by the incredible work happening across other states.

What makes Community Spring unique? 🤔

According to Clint Smith, it’s how we tackle systemic poverty from multiple angles. Our work centers on three core values: income, power, and community. We believe that everyone needs access to income for economic stability, power to transform unjust systems, and community that offers belonging and connection.

Clint believes in this multi-angled approach so deeply that he and an anonymous donor are putting up a $20,000 challenge grant to expand it. If 100 community members start or increase a monthly gift by July 31st, we unlock the full $20k!

Let's keep this momentum going. Help us cross the finish line and unlock the $20k at csgnv.org/give.
