YOU ARE INVITED to our chapter’s annual Black Mamas Bail Out (BMBO) fundraiser, on Monday, May 5 at 6:30pm.
For so many of us, Black Mama’s Bail Out is a yearly ritual of moving money to bail out Black moms and caregivers so that they are home on Mother’s Day. It is RG Philly’s five-year tradition to celebrate BMBO alongside loved ones, especially caregivers and family members, to join together to free as many Black mamas as we can, and reunite families who have been torn apart by the carceral state. We encourage you to invite parents, caregivers, and other loved ones to this event. Dm us for support inviting your family (we’d love to share our family organizing toolkit with you).
While this event will be aimed at young people with wealth and/or class privilege and our loved ones, all are welcome to join us! Register at bit.ly/RGPhl-BMBO-2025 (also in bio).
If you can’t make the event but would like to help bring Black caregivers home to their families, donate at the link in bio.

🌼Weds, Apr 9, 6:30pm-8pm: Class Patterns in Behavior
How does class impact our behavior, including how we show up in our relationships with each other and with political action? Learn to spot common patterns in your own behavior and get activated as an accomplice!
🌼Sun, Apr 27, 3pm-4:30pm: Class and Desirability Politics
What does it look like to understand class and desirability as two connected systems that both restrict the socially assigned value of marginalized people? In this workshop, we’ll be digging into the ways that wealth is connected to desirability – through racism, ableism, fatphobia, and more – and exploring how we can resist oppression in our personal as well as economic lives.
🌼Weds, May 7, 6:30pm-8pm: RG Philly vs Gentrification
How are RG Philly members thinking about our individual and collective roles in (anti-)gentrification? Join us for a conversation about our emerging chapter strategy and hear about ways you can plug in!
🌼Weds, May 21, 6:30pm-8pm: Investing in the Solidarity Economy
How can we redirect our and our families’ wealth away from extractive forces and invest deeply in the kind of world we want to see? Hear from RG Philly’s Investment/Solidarity Economy Working Group about how you can get involved, from moving your own money to helping others do the same.
🌼Weds, Jun 4, 6:30pm-8pm: Redistribution Planning

RG Philly and Poor People’s Army (PPA/PPHERC) spent 2024 laying the groundwork for something big: a new community center in Kensington! The Cheri Honkala Community Center, launched by Cheri and other members of PPA, will serve as an important gathering space in a time where public spaces are increasingly privatized and over policed. The building will also provide a variety of free programming for kids, families, and community members as well as a home base for PPA’s projects of survival and potential meeting space for other orgs.
We couldn’t be more excited to be shifting from planning to creating, or to be bringing more folks into the project. Here’s how you can help right now:
- Move money! RG Philly’s active membership was able to raise $125,000 to get this project off the ground, but we’re not stopping there. Contribute today to make sure this new nonprofit can cover ongoing mortgage/utility payments and can outfit their new space to meet community needs. Contribute at /cherihonkalacommunitycenter (link in bio). Can’t contribute? Send the link to 3 friends!
- Follow PPA and RG Philly on social media to stay up to date on the project! As the weather warms up, PPA and the Cheri Center will be looking for extra hands to help out in their new space.
