"Representing our community to demand change by engaging in political campaigns"
Did you know ?
Differing from SRC Foundation, Systemic Reformative Change is a 501(c)(4). As 501(c)(4) is allowed to engage in activities that promote the general welfare of the community, including significant lobbying and political advocacy, while still maintaining tax-exempt status. We can directly support or oppose political candidates, although political activity cannot be their primary purpose.
Board of Directors/President
Tyree Wallace
After enduring 26 years of wrongful incarceration, Tyree stands as a testament to resilience and transformation. Through his lived experience, Tyree offers a unique perspective that enables SRC to provide tailored resources that genuinely resonate with those in need.
Under Tyree's leadership, SRC has built an extensive network of credible allies—ranging from influential individuals to platforms and organizations—united in their commitment to driving meaningful change within flawed systems. His remarkable ability to bridge gaps and forge strategic partnerships not only amplifies the voices of marginalized communities but also paves the way for systemic reform.
