Ruba Ayub, a survivor of police violence has endorsed the Seattle APP
"I went through the school-to-prison pipeline, and I’ll never forget when a cop put his knee on my neck at Tyee High School’s cafeteria during lunch. I was a kid. I was terrified."
"We must currently support programs like Seattle APP that care for survivors when the system won’t."
Thank you, Ruba for your bravery and support.

Beneath the photo of Ruba is text that reads “Seattle APP fights for people like me. They [will] offer what the system never did: legal aid, trauma therapy, medical support, and care rooted in justice. Until we reach abolition, programs like this are essential for survival and healing. Abolition is the future, but until then, we must currently support programs like Seattle APP that care for survivors when the system won’t.”
