Statement from Founder, Attorney Lee Merritt:
"Limitless Resource (LR) is a powerful new tool in the fight against racial oppression and state sponsored violence. Our organization brings critical relief to communities impacted by brutality and injustice.
When a police officer kills under the color of state authority a network of personnel, safeguards, protocols and agencies are triggered for the protection of the officer and their department. LR responds to the devastation caused by police violence with a concentration of services directed at impacted families and communities.
Beginning with victims and their families-- LR deploys critical trauma recovery services geared to address the unique circumstances of state sponsored violence. LR assists families in gaining their bearings by surrounding them with a community of professionals and survivors with the tools, strategies and experience necessary to guide them through their darkest days. As families and communities are stabilized LR concentrates on planting roots within the various regions to ensure subsequent direct action is both sustainable and successful. Impacted groups are connected to powerful legal representation, public officials and community organizers with proven methods for successfully pursuing justice.
LR will walk alongside families to ensure they receive the mental health services, practical needs, community support and justice they deserve."
