Karmic Action Retribution Management Agency

We are in vibrant and changing times to learn how to save and protect our Earth. Our School for the Ecocene has sprouted as a worker and community-owned cooperative school for the planet! Thank you, community, for your encouragement and support.

We are launching Ecocene Press to publish works by our teachers, elders, students, collaborators and coop members. Join us in celebrating our school's inaugural publication: Earth Doula by Queen Hollins.

Queen has been sharing Black Indigenous Earth Medicine in Southern California for over 25 years at the Earthlodge Center for Spiritual Transformation. Earth Doula is an illuminated manuscript teaching humans how to restore ourselves and our Earth to a state of gratitude and interdependence.

Queen Speaks: Earth and all beings here are our relatives and we have a responsibility to them. The plants around us live in harmony and teach us how to do the same.

Earth Doula guides us:

 

Help us raise funds to publish Earth Doula by Queen Hollins, via tax-deductible donations through our fiscal sponsor, Karmic Action Redistribution Management Agency (KARMA).

Queen's manuscript is now finished, has been copy written, and is in the process of being illustrated and designed. Your contribution helps us to pay for copy editing, design, marketing and distribution of this book as far as wide as possible!

Thank you for being a part of uplifting Queen's legacy and inspiring Earth Doulas for generations to come!

At Bici Libre, we’re more than just a community DIY bike repair shop – we’re a hub of empowerment and education. For over 11 years, we’ve been passionately serving day laborers and underserved communities, providing them with vital access to bike parts, tool libraries, and the know-how to keep their mobility devices in top shape. Our mission is to promote self-reliance and sustainable transportation while fostering a sense of community.

What We Offer:

• Educational Bike Repair: We offer workshops and hands-on sessions to help community members become self-sufficient in repairing their bikes, wheelchairs, walkers, and scooters.

• Volunteer Mechanics: Our dedicated team of volunteers includes both Spanish and English speakers, ensuring that language is not a barrier to receiving support.

• Donation-Based Services: We believe that access to essential mobility tools shouldn’t be determined by one’s financial situation. Our services are donation-based, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their economic status, can maintain their means of transportation.

Our Impact:

Donate now and share our cause with your friends and family!

You can make a difference by donating today to Bici Libre, a volunteer-run community bike repair shop in central Los Angeles serving day laborers, houseless communities, youth and families. Bicilibre has an extensive tool lending library with workstations, used bicycles, an parts where people can learn to build a bike and repair their bikes on a sliding scale, and no one is ever turned away for lack of funds. Instead, we provide various ways community members can support the shop through mutual aid efforts.

With Los Angeles City Council’s latest attack on low-income and unhoused communities making bike repair on the streets illegal, Bicilibre is a crucial space to stay open to continue to support those targeted by systemic inequities.

We need your support now more than ever to continue our work making the most cost-effective, efficient transportation accessible and safe to the lowest-income cyclists. PLEASE HELP US STAY OPEN and contribute to our efforts to catch up on rent and make the necessary repairs to best operate to serve our communities.
