How This Helps Our Community “It has been said many times that actions speak louder than words, and the volunteers of the African People’s Education & Defense Fund (APEDF) are the perfect example of this! As APEDF’s mission states, we are committed to creating institutions, programs, and campaigns that defend the human and civil rights of the African community and address the grave disparities in health, health care, economic development, and education. Through African self-determination, the health and wellness programs, economic development projects and family events sponsored by APEDF are most important in the struggle to improve our quality of life. You are an integral part of this process and have already made a difference. Because of your commitment to organize for change, APEDF has made a real impact on the lives of African communities in all of the cities where APEDF is located. Our volunteers have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world, and to develop and gain work skills, all while giving back to the community. We salute you for your passion and commitment to APEDF’s mission. Your support for APEDF is part of the solution! This is the place where you, your family, friends and your co-workers can make a difference.” ~ APEDF Board President, Ona Zene’ Yeshitela The Gary Brooks Community Garden is vital to the community mission.
