Classroom of Compassion in Jacksonville, FL

The Los Angeles-based nonprofit, Classroom of Compassion, will be creating 3 public altars to honor the three victims lost on August 26 in a racist shooting attack at a Dollar General in Jacksonville, Florida.

Help support us as we raise $1,500 for resources, supplies and travel. Your donation will DIRECTLY support the emotional wellness of Jacksonville and help shift the narrative to one of memory, community and support.

We will also be setting up our pop-up space on-site, similar to the one we did in Uvalde, TX, Highland Park, IL, Colorado Springs, CO and most recently Monterey Park, CA where individuals will have the opportunity to put together a small floral offering, write a note, or create a drawing or painting and leave it as part of this growing community memorial. We hope to provide art resources that promote healthy and safer expression of intense emotional experiences.

We believe in the sanctity of life and work to honor the stories and memories of those lost in acts of violence. Please help us honor the lives of the three people lost to this horrific hate crime.
