Gantry Fox graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice with a concentration in African American Studies from Rowan University; as well as a Master’s of Public Health from Drexel University. He possesses over 17 years of experience in the criminal justice social work field and has dedicated his career to those with just and unjust forensic backgrounds.  He currently serves as director of several diversionary court programs in Philadelphia working in partnership with First Judicial District officials and staff.   
Gantry has been a racial justice advocate since his early high school and collegiate years serving in elected positions with the NAACP and other minority centered organizations.  He currently serves Phi Beta Sigma Incorporated as the Director of Social Action for the Gloucester County Alumni Chapter driving service, engagement, and elevation of local disadvantaged communities.   Gantry continues to do the same in his role on the NJ Environmental Justice Advisory Council and in his affiliation with the NJ Environmental Justice Alliance.    
Gantry is most invested in encouraging systemic changes in the current state of policing in an effort to liberate black and brown citizens from both implicit/explicit racial bias and alleviate physical/mental abuse.   He believes anything less is to condone arbitrary use of power and control against the defenseless which helps to sustain oppressive governing. His missionary scripture is 1 Corinthians 10:23-24, “All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.  Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.”  Gantry is married to Melissa Fox and they have three children: Angelina, Aalliya, and Richa

Sammy Arroyo grew up in Puerto Rico and received a BA in Education from the University of Puerto Rico. He worked for five years as a High School Social Studies teacher in Puerto Rico. Sammy received his MDiv from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2009 and is currently working on his Phd. dissertation in Christian thought at the Interamerican University in Puerto Rico, where he focuses on studying the first stages of the development of an anti-African slave theology in the Caribbean during the 16th and 17th century. First by studying how Spain and Portugal built an African slavery structure through their respective Crowns and with the help of the Catholic Church, and how they developed a pro-slavery theology in Europe and then translated it to the Caribbean.  This happened through legislation from the Crown and church practices (and church legislation) in these centuries.  Sammy will bring to the front the historical figures that opposed African slavery by analyzing their sermons, letters, books and Inquisition trials. He will highlight the movements during those centuries that opposed African slavery and the leading voices of the time.  

Sammy serves as part of The United Methodist Church of GNJ Board of Church and Society and is part of the Immigration Task Force for the same denomination's conference.  In the Spring of 2018 he served as co-chair of the Faith Communities Outreach Committee of the Poor People's Campaign in NJ.  

Sammy Arroyo believes his faith moves him to advocate for those who are oppressed in our society. He has been actively speaking at rallies and conferences in the state of New Jersey, advocating for immigrant rights and opposing family separations, not just at the border but for the ones also happening all over the nation.   

One of Sammy's goals is to help faith leaders in formulating a social moral argument for the poor and oppressed in their communities. 

He enjoys good coffee, good friendships, and reading.  He is married to the Reverend Dr. Joy Arroyo, Phd, and is blessed with a five-year-old boy and a two-year-old girl.

Grace is a daughter, sister, soul friend, loving aunt, native of Ghana and a resident of Newark, Jersey. She graduated with two Bachelors of Arts in Public Administration and African American and African Studies with a Social Justice Concentration from Rutgers University-Newark.  During her years in college, Grace was a scholar of the Honors Living and Learning Community (HLLC); a residential scholarship that helps to cultivate social justice leaders to make local and global impact. As a part of the inaugural cohort of the BOLD Women’s Leadership Program, she helped to implement a transformation project to bring awareness of sexual violence on campus. In addition, she served as the Community Outreach Senator of the Student Governing Association and mentored freshman students through HLLC and the Bonner’s Leaders Program.  In college, Jesus met Grace in her questions about her passion for social justice and her faith. She then came to the realization about the deep intersection between the Gospel of Jesus and social justice. She then helped to co-create Intervarsity Newark Black Campus Ministry to help bridge the gap between the Black identity and Christian spirituality as well as hold the space to discuss issues that affect the Black community on campus. 

Through travel, activism, and service, Grace has exchanged cultures and connected with people in Curacao, India, Cuba, Panama, Costa Rica, and Mexico.  She also studied abroad at the University of Cape Town, South Africa during the fall 2019 semester and focused on African and Gender Studies through the Gilman Scholarship. Currently, she is pursuing a one-year fellowship with Salvation and Social Justice as the Coordinator of our Youth Coalition through the BOLD Women’s Leadership Program. This fellowship aims to financially support graduating BOLD scholars and enabling them to serve and work with an organization that aligns with their purpose and passions as well as BOLD’s commitment to advancing progressive social change and fostering equitable and inclusive communities. Grace chose to work with Salvation and Social Justice to deeply understand the spiritual and physical aspects of prayerful activism from a policy perspective.  Grace’s deepest desire and prayer is to help create spaces, opportunities, and resources of discipleship for Black people to experience Jesus for themselves, understand and practice prayerful resistance and truly be free in the land of the living. Lastly, one of her favorite Bible verses is: Luke 4:18, NIV, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom to the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind and set the oppressed free.”
