Paul Redd's Funeral Expenses

Paul Redd left us on Juneteenth. A hero to so many, he was loved by so many communities: from his childhood friends in Oakland, to his family who has always been with him, to decades-long friendships from the inside, to the many friends he made in his two years home after 44 years of wrongful incarceration, including 30 in solitary. He will be remembered for his infinite love, his courage, strength, generosity, hope, his poetry, and passion for justice. We love you Paul!

 

The family welcomes your financial contributions for his funeral and burial, which happened on July 9th and were so beautiful, and now towards supporting his wife May in adjusting to her new life chapter. Thank you for any support you are able to offer. All funds going through Paul's nephew, Ugene Jackson.

Here is a poem from Paul's book "Roaring Free in A World Without Walls"...

A Voice From Within

Do you know

the voice when

i call to you?

Do i know the 

voice when you

call to me?

It is a whisper

A silent call!

It is my call

to go forward

never backward.

It is my voice

for you to know

with the words

i speak for you

to grow.
