For the highly sensitive, the loud and big hearted, the extroverts: "No more apologies for a bleeding heart when the opposite is no heart at all. Danger of losing our humanity must be met with more humanity,"- - Toni Morrison

For Indigenous Youth across California - share with your networks and learn more about C.O.R.E. and apply here: https://forms.gle/K82Ki1vJJpqJQFn8A. Applications close Monday, September 14, 2026.

👋🏾 Native youth! The application window is now open for the Coalition of Organizers Rooted in Empowerment program (C.O.R.E.) - a 10-month statewide cohort for Native youth ages 18–25 – who want to grow their leadership, build community, and turn what they care about into meaningful change.

Leadership doesn't start with having all the answers. It starts with being willing to learn, grow, and take action.

C.O.R.E. is a place to learn, ask questions, build relationships, and discover what you’re capable of alongside Native youth from across California. No organizing experience is required; just a willingness to show up, grow, and learn together. 🌱

If you’ve been waiting for someone to tell you that you’re ready enough to start, consider this your invitation. 💌

💡Learn more about C.O.R.E. and apply here: https://forms.gle/K82Ki1vJJpqJQFn8A. Applications close Monday, September 14, 2026.

CLAP does more than just zines for community and leave behinds for policy or legislative visits. Behind the booklets, data, are people impacted by inequities, structural harm, and crab in the barrel weaponization of these realities.

We grew up looking out for each other here in Sactown no matter the dark sad attempts to divide and exploit going on now. It is a privilege to call this city home and be surrounding by community that believes and walks alongside others to assure everyone is cared for

Through our CLAP Connect Form alone reveals a profound crisis of systemic abandonment affecting marginalized residents in Sacramento, particularly Black women who disproportionately carry the burden of shortages of stable housing, financial distress,exacerbated by a lack of transportation, and a critical absence of culturally competent essential services. This is why we have low barrier access to resources for everyone in community: clapsac.com

We continue to come to terms that there are those who use their multiple resources to seed a network (financial, social engineering, time) to coordinate division, cruelty, and to prove to be "so right". This happens on a large or small scale usually at the expense of vulnerable or marginalized people who don't have the investment of money or time and/or would use their resources for discord.
