Mission

The Co-Conspirator Institute does the work of building Beloved Community by create space to reflect, grieve, heal, and be transformed from the culture of white supremacy.

Background

The Co-Conspirator Institute was founded in honor of Christopher Aldy Morand, the founder of TCCI's nephew who was murdered in 2019 due to gun violence. His absence will forever be deeply felt in my family. In my last conversation with Chris, he shared he was about to enroll in the military because he was ready to serve this country. I was so proud of his decision and am heartbroken that his future was stolen from us. The root of gun violence that is plaguing our communities is white supremacy and the inequities it has engendered for centuries. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, gun violence is a leading cause of death among children in the US and Black Families and communities are disproportionately impacted. Our country needs change now! Like Christopher I feel called to serve this country too. My passion is to work towards a better tomorrow and take steps towards a Beloved Community through The Co-Conspirator Institute.

CEO Statement

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as founder and CEO of this organization in honor of my nephew Christopher Aldy Morand. He will always be part of my story as I say his name daily. There is a need for intentional space and work on our emotional health. Our work is about creating space for the well-being of persons grieving and those seeking for a more effective way to actively do the work of dismantling racism in their midst. Our country needs change now. We need to heal. The time is now, and I believe TCCI is a great option for those in our community.
