Kae Jae is the director of ROCC, Residents of Color Collective, currently based in West St. Paul. ROCC's mission is to help empower under served communities of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC). ROCC helps create a highway of resources by building community through partnerships with organizations like Dodge Nature Center, Dakota County Library, 360 Communities, Dakota Child and Family Clinic. ROCC coordinated a 2020 UNITY MARCH in West St. Paul & South St. Paul; distributed over 800 back packs with supplies; distributed over 300 coats in partnership with Amore Coffee; and helped deliver over 350,00 meals with multiple community partners. They also have a youth program called ROCC Climbers which is helping with development of BIPOC youth in two ISD 197 schools. Thank you for a very interesting program Kae Jae.
