LaRok Task Force

The LaRok Task Force serves to organize sisters committed to ending intimate partner violence and sexual assault in our community. Our focus is on raising awareness of intimate partner violence and sexual assault, through programming, policies, support services and resource guide development. Our goal is to prepare sisters and community members to support survivors and hold abusers accountable; and enforce policies and procedures that condemn and prevent violence through promoting health and safety for all.

Ujima Committee

We recognize that our society is founded and funded upon systemic racism and oppression of marginalized communities, espeeccially the Black community. The Ujima committee strive to sharpen the efforts of Kappa Phi Lambda sorority to establish anti-racist policies and practices, address and rehabilitate anti-Black behaviors and actions and provide organized voice for Black sisters.

Ujima is Swahili for “Collective Work & Understanding” and serves as the third principle of Kwanzaa. This committee is intended to be led by Black-identified sisters. Non-black sisters are welcome to join as supporting members.

The Ujima committee envisions a future where sisters and potential new members of KPL can rely on the organization for support and understanding. We wish to build a space that affirms Black women and is free from sexism, misogynoir, antiblackness and racism. KPL will be a safe space for sisters of all racial ethnic backgrounds and no sister will feel ostracized by the color of her skin. Our sorority will embody and practice justice liberation and peace in our engagements with one another.
