REP Hotline: A Transition

A message from CARERs:

The Revolutionary Emergency Partners (REP) hotline project began in summer 2021. The hotline began as a community dream of care and abolition. And it has been a privilege and honor to be able to offer community care through the hotline response. But REP is now at a point where shifting community needs and funding pressures have opened the conversation of what role the hotline is serving in the community.

The hotline, as it is now, has been receiving few calls and has not been utilized to its full capacity. REP is beginning to dream what might could be the next step. There is no clear plan at this time, but ideas are being explored on how to use our network of volunteers and the technology developed for the hotline, these include offering training in de-escalation, or offering as-needed marshal/de-escalation, and/or using the hotline as a resource-sharing line. CARERs will begin the process of exploring options and including community input to reshape the REP hotline.

The operation of the current REP hotline (7pm–12am live responding on Friday and Saturdays) will pause after June 7, 2025.

If you have interest or concern about future ideation for the REP hotline, please reach out and we will get you connected!

Dear Community,

Five years ago, Relationships Evolving Possibilities (REP) began as a bold conversation in the wake of the 2020 uprisings an abolitionist project rooted in Black love, ancestral knowledge, and radical consent.

We’re looking back on what we’ve built, noticing what’s changing, and offering a glimpse into where we are now.

From our hotline entering a transition, to changes in studio offerings, to dreaming new ways to share our tools through trainings—REP is evolving.

We’re honoring this moment with honesty, gratitude, and a deep commitment to continue practicing community care in ways that reflect our capacity and the community needs of now.

We deeply appreciate you and welcome you to connect with us.

🖤 Read our full 5-year reflection and join us as we shape what’s next: https://repformn.org/our-work/

With Care,

REP, 💜
