At the heart of what we do is building and strengthening community, especially for people of color and LGBTQIA+ folks. We are so grateful to our incredible clients whose paid projects give Mixed Change the opportunity to contribute to pro bono community building efforts towards liberation for all.
Free Billie Allen Campaign
The Free Billie Allen Campaign is a community based campaign calling for President Biden to pardon Billie Allen, an innocent Black man who has been incarcerated on federal death row for over 25 years. We work with FBA on event planning and production, content creation, and strategic partnerships to raise awareness about Billie’s case. In 2022 we worked alongside Billie’s sister Yvette to plan a direct action and art event in Washington D.C. entitled “We The People.”
Phoenix Legal Action Network
PLAN is the only organization providing free legal representation to non-detained immigrant adults facing deportation in the Phoenix Immigration Court. PLAN promotes justice in Arizona by building community trust and power with immigrant-led organizations to advance the rights of immigrants and their families. Mixed Change sponsored PLAN’s storytelling event featuring stories from immigrants and people fighting for immigrant rights, “En Nuestras Proprias Palabras” (In Our Own Words).
Asian American Healing Experience
Mental health is a hugely important issue to us at Mixed Change, especially mental health resources for QTBIPOC people. Read our blog about this here. In 2022 Mixed Change sponsored “Asian American Healing Experience,” an event in Los Angeles hosted by Kim Saira and Jemarc Axinto. The event was a community care healing space focused on somatic healing modalities and community building for Asian American people.
