K&O is funded by the people it serves — not by institutions with their own agenda. Pay what you can. Every dollar goes directly to the community, the book, and the fight fund.
The dishwasher pays two dollars. The engineer who just got laid off pays twenty. Both are equal members of this community. The amount is not the measure.
Most organizations claiming to serve low-income communities are funded by foundations whose capital was built by the same industries those communities are fighting. K&O is funded by the community itself — the only way to stay honest about whose interests are actually being served.

Your story — the layoff, the visa, the diploma that got you nowhere — is part of the evidence that this system is broken. We want to hear it.
Share your story →No fee. No credential requirement. A short form and a conversation. We are looking for people who are genuine — not polished. Tell us who you actually are.
