How To Help
Grassroots Peacemaking Starts With You
Much of the crucial work of gang intervention is done at a grassroots level with little or no support from federal agencies. Any assistance you can provide is gratefully accepted.
Whilst donations of money are urgently needed to fund this vital work, there are other ways you can support this work. Perhaps you have a used computer you can donate? Perhaps you need some work done and can provide a former gang member with gainful employment?
The following organizations all participated in making MADE IN AMERICA and many of the leaders of these organizations appear in the film. Any assistance you can provide to help their work is greatly appreciated.
