Helping the family
Right now, the family is staying at a hotel in South San Francisco. We are putting together a gofundme account that will help with 1) housing and 2) legal expenses. Our first priority is the care for the family, but because of the arrests, we will need also need support to reduce the legal expenses. As soon as the account is ready to display, we will send it out to folks on facebook and email. We will also accept cash tomorrow night that will go directly to the family.
Pastor Dorn
As Pastor Dorn has said in the past, this isn't just about him, but also the black community

and the injustices committed by city policies and banking policies. Archbishop King, of the St. John Coltrane Church, once said of Pastor Dorn, "He has not only taken the responsibility of shepherding his congregation, but that of the community. He has fought for this community, provided families in crisis spiritual support. It's time that we, the community, do the same for him."
The black community has dwindled to almost 3 percent. Thank you all who have come out in support, both physically and financially, and put their bodies in the front line to help highlight this injustice against Pastor Dorn and his family and the community.
"A growing number of supporters of Pastor Dorn's family have told us that Quan He has until Monday night, January 18th, to tell us that he's letting Pastor Dorn and his family back into the home and tell us that he'll sit down and negotiate.
ACCE's on-going nonviolent resistance will continue to support the Dorn family. Please join us.
