Relationships Evolving Possibilities
Relationships Evolving Possibilities (REP) is a network of dedicated abolitionists showing up to support others in moments of crisis or urgency, with care and respect for the full dignity and autonomy of the people in crisis.
We are guided by our core values:
• Black love and liberation
• Ancestral knowledge
• Radical consent
We work, organize, and care for one another with deep respect and gratitude for the enduring legacies and influence of revolutionaries before and with us still. We are the ripples of the movement of fellow abolitionist organizers in Minneapolis including AIM Patrol, MPD150, Resmaa Menakem, Ricardo Levins Morales and countless others who dream of collective liberation from state-sanctioned violence.
REP is one node in an interconnected network of projects created by communities to manifest safety and centers Black life, liberation, and joy. We continually learn from these projects and comrades in other cities, including the Bay Area Transformative Justice Collective, CAT911, MHFirst Oakland, and Cahoots.
Our Mission
The mission of REP stems from Black love and liberation, with a vision that all communities thrive when our needs are met. We are grounded in the belief that as a community we have the ability and capacity to love and protect each other without giving our agency to systems that were built to destroy, consume, or commodify us. Relationships Evolving Possibilities is the foundational pedagogy for our approach to community safety.
REP is an engagement strategy that facilitates the formation of localized pods for mutual aid and reinforces transformative crisis support within community networks. Our programs promote wellness and create safer and thriving communities.

Colloquially, in the family, we’d call it a song rather than a poem, in this case, a “song for straight vision and strength.” The word vato, is a slang Spanish word, for a person who might know the streets, and also an informal way of addressing a man, such as in the street … e.g., “Man, don’t you realize?”

the banquet of whiteness by Charles Eisenstein -
His words: engages the race issue from a perspective I have not seen very much, bringing in metaphysics, herbal medicine, voodoo, the discourse of privilege, colonialism, mythology, and philosophy of science. If you want to witness me blithely tripping through a political minefield, go ahead and read it. Also it has some jokes. Also some personal history.
