Help Launch a Coding Program for Incarcerated QTBIPOC Individuals Near Release

Hello, my name is Vonds, a Black transgender non-binary and neurodivergent individual passionate about helping QTBIPOC folks near release from incarceration.

I’m starting an organization to teach coding to QTBIPOC individuals one year from release, offering them skills for financial stability and purpose. This project will create opportunities for those historically excluded from tech and reduce recidivism.

Your support will help cover my personal expenses as I dedicate myself full-time to developing a curriculum, building partnerships, and securing funding.

With 6 years of tech experience and a computer science degree in progress, I’m uniquely positioned to lead this impactful program. Any contribution or share helps make this vision a reality!

How should abolitionists respond to Bukele's popularity?

Today people see the short-term reductions in homicide rates, and that's what immediately matters to lots of people, regardless of the immense state violence and destruction of civil rights. I never see this addressed by other abolitionists despite Bukele essentially just getting praise as a savior of El Salvador in media, or at best abstract liberal critiques.

How do we communicate abolitionism as a better alternative in the face of an overwhelming majority of El Salvador approving of Bukele's demagoguery and prison expansion policies? Sure, we can talk about getting people's needs met, but in my experience it just falls on deaf ears when they can't understand themselves as targets of the state.

In the Netherlands, we’re closing our emptying prisons. What can other countries learn from how we did it?
