Organizations Filed Purposes:
CALEB (Chattanooga in Action for Love, Equality, and Benevolence) represents the needs and goals of our community by bringing together different groups who share the same vision for our city and its betterment. We use our common wants and needs to bring churches, labor unions and other groups together. By being united, we are able to affect change and win for all people within our city.
CALEB's Purpose: To bring together an institutional coalition of Faith-based, labor and other community organizations in order that their constituents gain a powerful voice in public affairs and issues in the wider community.
Hamilton County Community Bail Fund: The Hamilton County Community Bail Fund is a revolving fund account that allows CALEB to post full cash bonds for individuals unable to post for themselves. CALEB works to remind participants and their community contacts about upcoming court dates, and when cases are resolved the bail amount is returned in full to be used for the next individual. CALEB volunteers conduct interviews and receive community referrals by phone, email and through our website. We also have a referral relationship with the Public Defender's Office.
Immigration Bond Fund: CALEB's Immigration Bond Fund is meant to provide support to local immigrant families whose loved ones are in ICE custody. Through a partnership with CALEB's member organization, Tennessee United, fund resources can be used to pay full or partial Immigration bonds set by either an ICE official or a federal immigration judge. This support ensures that families can be reunited while they pursue their legal options.
Community Organizing Trainings: CALEB's purpose is to build strong public organizations through strong public leaders. Trainings are a key part of this work. As an affiliate of the Gamaliel Network of community organizations, we commit to sending leaders to Gamaliel's 7-day National Leadership Training, as well as regional one- and three-day regional trainings. CALEB has also created local training opportunities. In partnership with our member organization Glass House Collective, we've created a curriculum called 'SWAY: A People's Guide to Community Organizing" that pairs local residents with artists interested in public action. Through eight workshops and a community project, participants learn the strategies and qualities for building a strong public organization that can affect change.
