POSITIVE CHANGE IN OUR COMMUNITY
PRESENTED BY THE CITY OF FOREST ACRES
“ We believe people are capable of
accomplishing great things especially
when we work together.”
together.”
- KASSY AL IA RAY
Dear Friends,
When we began our movement for change over five years ago, we had no idea the journey
ahead. And last March, we never imagined that it would be two years before we could all
get together in person again. Our nation has experienced so much. Our work has become
increasingly more and more relevant to the struggles we face as a country. We continue
to be impacted by the deep division and distrust between police and community, but at
Serve & Connect, we see hope unfold before our very eyes. We are witnessing transformation
take place and we are excited to celebrate our mission on October 22.
When my husband Greg was killed, I was driven to create a new conversation, one that
promotes unity, healing and empathy. We are doing just that and, together with our partners,
are tackling challenges through collaboration—one neighborhood at a time.
We believe in the power of people to drive change. We believe people are capable of
accomplishing great things, especially when we work together. Because we believe in those
things, we are committed to working with police and community, helping to identify where there
are the greatest opportunities for making lasting change and building the pathway to make
those dreams a reality.
We have learned that partnerships are the key to igniting positive change. By optimizing
collaboration, elevating trust, and establishing shared pride among police, community
organizations, leaders and residents, we show that a different path is possible; one where we
work together with our shared goals and inspire to create better outcomes for all.
I remain amazed at the level of change we have witnessed in such a short time. This work would
not be possible without your support. Your donations help strengthen neighborhoods and
communities through police-community partnerships and shape a new story of hope and a
better future for our children. Together, we are better. Together, there is hope.
With love,
Kassy Alia Ray
Founder and CEO
