On November 21, 100 STRONG, a community advocate group working in areas of social justice, community health and safety, education, and economics, celebrated 13 years of service to the people of San Diego with a people’s assembly at The Community Spot. 100 STRONG also celebrated one of their founders, Tau Baraka, on his 55th solar return around the sun.

100 STRONG gave recognition awards to long standing advocates of our community: Dr. John Warren of the Voice & Viewpoint, along with Abdur Hameed from the Black Contractors Association, and Makeda Makossa from the World Beat Center.

Many came out to celebrate the organic organization that boasts having never worked in a nonprofit capacity.

“Everything that 100 STRONG does for our people comes from the heart. We’re not out here trying to make money off the people. We are trying to help with fancy banquets and we give it to the people free of the ‘BS’, with nothing but love,” said 100 STRONG founder Tau Baraka.
