This CCHRP fundraiser is to raise money for the Indigenous People’s Day 5 (IP5), the five indigenous women and Two Spirit people who are being charged with felonies for toppling a Junipero Serra statue in San Rafael in October, 2020.
The act of taking the statue down was an act of healing for the IP5 as well as the many California tribes whose ancestors were enslaved and tortured under Junipero Serra’s command during California’s mission era. We are thrilled to support this act of generational healing. |

Prentis has served as a board member for National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network (NQTTCN), a network for connecting communities with representative mental health practitioners and an effort at bringing frameworks of healing justice more soundly into current mental health provision models; and on Black Emotional and Mental Health (BEAM), an organization committed to removing the barriers for Black people to receive mental and emotional care. Prentis is also a deeply committed practitioner and healer who utilizes Somatic methodology, intuition and ancestral practice into their work to heal trauma, and unlock the unique brilliance and contribution of each person, body and being they work with. |
Sammie Ablaza Wills (They/Them), is an enthusiastic, queer, non-binary Pilipinx organizer passionate about supporting people in reclaiming their inherent power and dignity.
Growing up in a hustling class immigrant household, their political journey started with witnessing xenophobia against their family, fighting budget cuts in public schools, and learning about trans Pilipinos fighting colonization. Currently, Sammie is the Executive Director of APIENC, a grassroots organization building power for transgender and queer Asian and Pacific Islander people in the Bay Area, where they originally started as a youth Summer Organizer. In their current role, Sammie supports hundreds of community members to organize for rights, build intergenerational connections, and heal for trans justice.

Billy Janes Lac (They/Them) studied at Emperor's College School of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Santa Monica, California. There, they found a special calling to work as an ally addressing the body-mind connection and pain through herbal medicine, acupuncture, moving meditation practice and more.
Billy cares deeply about the Black & QTPOC (Queer Trans People of Color) community and works to create an inclusive and intersectional practice. A special interest in the ways our bodies store memory and trauma led Billy to study and practice Craniosacral Therapy with a special interest in somatic approaches to healing trauma. Billy also hosts the Queer Circle Podcast where Queer healers come to the mic to share their journeys and what they’d tell their younger selves. In popular culture, Queers are often props or villains and it was became increasingly important to Billy to amplify the voices of healers in the Queer community who, with strength and vulnerability, share how they’ve come to heal and bring healing to the community on their heroic journey.
