Mission

Our mission is to use the power of our cultural expression to empower communities who are first and worst impacted by injustice.

Programs

4 programs

The "respect my vote!" campaign is a non-partisan voter mobilization and education campaign targeting young people between the ages of 18 and 40 years-old. We strengthen democracy by focusing on civic engagement to increase citizen participation in elections and the democratic process, and by advocating for election reform and full enfranchisement.

Expenses: $773K

Justice paid in full: to strengthen the economic power of frontline communities of color and reduce disparities, we must also dismantle systems of mass incarceration and environmental pollution. This requires investing in and uplifting black institutions to create lasting change.

Expenses: $334K

"good trouble" in the 21st century is our program to train, empower, and provide resources to leaders between the ages of 14 and 40 years-old, to organize their communities on civil and human rights issues. Issues include criminal justice and police reform, civil liberties and freedoms, access to quality education, access to affordable health care, just immigration policy, equal rights for women and for lgbtq+, and just and appropriate responses to natural disasters.

Expenses: $175K

Pressure squad: to apply pressure on policymakers and institutions to advocate for policies that support racial, climate, and economic justice.
