GROW Mentoring

The individuals that threaten the safety of our diverse community go against everything we stand for. If you are in public, feel unsafe or are suddenly caught in an area impacted by any racism, threat or violence, please put your safety first. Call for a taxi and GROW will immediately reimburse your fare to ensure you remain safe getting home. Just send us your receipts via direct message or email. No questions asked. Choosing between a taxi or money for essentials is no choice. We’re here to support you. Pass it on 💚
