T.O.N.E. U.P. Tuesday: A Special Gathering
Tuesday, October 13 | 6:00–8:00 PM
T.O.N.E. U.P. Tuesdays are back, and this Tuesday, we're gathering at a very special place!
These gatherings are about community, connection, healing, sharing resources, and reminding one another that we don't have to figure everything out alone. Whether you're navigating reentry, looking for support, or simply need to be around people who understand, there's room for you here.
Important: All new members must RSVP to receive the location. We're keeping the location private, so please reach out to T.O.N.E. U.P. to confirm your attendance and receive the details.
Come ready to connect, build, and continue teaching ourselves new examples to uplift one another.
Help Us Keep This Work Going
If you believe in what we do, we're asking you to invest in it.
Many of you have witnessed what T.O.N.E. U.P. does, how we show up for our comrades, and what we believe is possible when justice-impacted people are trusted and supported to lead. The funding world can be tricky and fickle. Grants come and go, but the needs in our community don't stop. We cannot build lasting change on uncertain funding alone.
We're asking our community to help us build something more sustainable.
If you believe this work needs to grow and reach more people, please consider becoming a recurring monthly donor. Five dollars. Ten dollars. Whatever you can give. Every contribution matters, and consistent support helps us plan, respond, and keep showing up.
To our larger donors and philanthropic partners: Give us the opportunity and the resources to demonstrate the impact that justice-impacted leadership can make. This work takes resources, and the people doing it deserve to be paid for their knowledge, experience, and labor.
Your dollars help us pay directly impacted Peer Navigators, provide reentry kits, prepare Civic Care Packages, and create guidebooks that help our comrades navigate systems, find resources, and see possibilities beyond the circumstances they've known.
We're not asking you to invest in an idea alone. We're asking you to invest in people, relationships, leadership, and a community working to create something different.
If you've seen the value in what we do, please open your pocketbooks and help us keep going.
