Members have an extensive network of supporters and close relationships with a wide variety of activist organizations. This loan finances the purchase of property near New Haven, CT where the community will be able to grow food for itself and for local charitable providers and offer a different kind of retreat/hospitality experience for its allies, guests, and visitors.
