“In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.”

Thurgood Marshall

Our mission is to mobilize men to enter into and alleviate the suffering in their communities, beginning with East Fort Worth.

“Dr. King won’t rise from the grave, Malcolm X won’t rise from the grave, we have to rise up to fix what is wrong.”

Drugs, gangs, prostitution, and crime. These are realities that have plagued the Stop 6 neighborhood from the outside looking in for decades. However, for Dante, Quinton, and Frank, Stop 6 was home. Home meant sleeping at your friend’s house, playing football in the streets, learning what it means to be a man from your brothers, and not falling prey to the vices of the community. They learned being a product of your environment is up to interpretation. For them, it meant World Wide P. For them it meant coming back to the community and teaching the men of their community to rise up and not be victims of societal stereotypes. In a community rich in history, decorated with its own culture, these men chose to come back and be the impact the neighborhood needed. And from this, Community Frontline was born.

After premiering in 2017 at TCU, “76105: Dr. King Won’t Rise” has since gone on to show at the 2018 Thin Line Festival in Denton, TX, and the 2018 Fort Worth Indie Film Showcase in Fort Worth, TX. View the full documentary.

Racial Justice and Solidarity

So much of the racial animosity we see in our society stems from a fear of the unknown. Community Frontline hopes to eliminate said fear by cultivating spaces where people from various racial backgrounds can better get to know one another. We host opportunities for people to come together and have conversations surrounding race in an environment free from judgment and intent on education and expression.

We believe that exposure to the lived experiences of our fellow man will lead to further inquiry and ultimately advocacy and solution. We work alongside various organizations and with official departments across our county and city to play our role to ensure healing across racial divides. Community Frontline focuses on fortifying personal relationships with people across demographic lines with the hope that if an issue occurs with anyone in our collective community, we all seek a solution for our neighbor and friend.

Police-Community Relations & Accountability

Community Frontline’s Police/Community relations efforts are focused on relationship building, accountability, and mediation to foster understanding. Our Police Community Relations Department holds weekly and monthly meetings with every level of law enforcement officials to stay well-informed of the latest happenings in policing from a systemic perspective.

We host opportunities for residents to voice their concerns for the state of policing in our city to inform our internal advocacy work as an organization and allow people to express issues directly to department officers. We also offer officers opportunities to personally know the people they serve and for the community to be trained on what actual duties and experiences accompany policing.

As changes occur through legislation and departmental policies, Community Frontline hosts informational forums to keep our Community in Fort Worth well aware of the latest trends affecting our safety. While policing issues become public through media outlets, we create spaces for officers to explain the realities of the headlines directly to community members so all sides can be knowledgeable. It is the hope of our organization that law enforcement and the greater community can perceive the humanity in one another and act accordingly for the safety and security of our city as a collective.

Mentoring and Education

Education is more than the fundamentals of reading, writing, and mathematics. Education is the wholistic well-being of an individual to reach their full potential and self-sustainability. Community Frontline’s Educational and Mentorship service focuses on more than simply the importance of classroom learning but also works to ensure that there is aid and accountability at all levels of the educational system.

We reach students directly through our partner programs Create + Collaborate and My Brother’s Keeper, as well as in athletics through Fort Worth Outlaws Youth Association. Community Frontline also continues to provide college tours and scholarship opportunities to Historically Black Colleges and Universities. We work directly with local Universities, Texas Christian University and Texas Wesleyan University, to ensure that education and exposure extend to students across the greater Fort Worth area in all city sectors.

Education/Mentorship extends outside of the educational system to the community at large; our organization hosts monthly informational forums in the hopes of adding educational accessibility of resources and pertinent information to those who have historically lacked access.

City Beautification and Development

City Beautification is at the heart of Community Frontline’s actionable service endeavors. We believe that if we see an issue, it is our obligation to bring about a solution. City Beautification is about making our shared spaces better for all persons in our city. Through our Community Clean-Ups, where we eliminate trash and waste from our streets to mural painting and building restoration, to fighting for environmental justice issues targeting the marginalized, Community Frontline attempts to instill and amplify pride in the community we call home.
