This month, we will be highlighting various organizations and people and the work they have been doing during the COVID-19 crisis. We also hope to provide you with resources that are available in your community. For our first #KollabHeroes story, we interviewed Max Leyoung, the co-founder of SF Peace Collective and founder of Frisco Cop Watch.
