APPEAL Fundraiser

APPEAL, Inc. was incorporated in October 2012, in Washington, D.C. Its primary Founder is Lasana K. Mack (former D.C. Treasurer), who led the effort to conceptualize and structure APPEAL, but there was also a team of people affiliated with a coalition of Pan-Africanist organizations in the DC metropolitan area that provided input and support for the effort from the beginning. Those people are among APPEAL’s 58 Founding Members. Legal research and support for the structuring of APPEAL was provided by the Community Development Law Clinic of the University of the District of Columbia, David A. Clarke School of Law, with a team of law students under the supervision of Professor Kemit Mawakana, Esq.
