For too long, Black, Indigenous & Students of Color have been harmed by racist & classist stereotypes from being overly disciplined to ignored.

As the school year kicks off, we are dreaming of schools that see us & hold our full messy human selves.

What are your radical dreams for our public schools?

Thanks ***ryouthassemble for helping us find the words we need.

Advocacy begins with ourselves. Speaking up about our needs & boundaries is scary but necessary. We get to honor our truth & create the conditions we can thrive in. ✨🦋

Organizing is all about building relationships & community.

We got to build that muscle last week during our Summer Youth Leadership Academy.

“As part of our SYLA 2022 program, we got to interview some key leaders in our community of Long Beach!

We interviewed Lean Cheun, Executive Director of Khmer Girls in Action about the importance of Mental Health, and LBUSD Deputy Superintendent Dr. Tiffany Brown about her thoughts on Transformative Education. We felt hopeful and inspired after gaining real insight on these topics! It was an incredible experience to interview these two leaders and we hope to share space with them again! Thank you Lian and Tiffany!” - Klarisa, Brenda, Leah, and Lerik

Organizing is dream work.

It is our duty to reimagine new ways of being & operating that are aligned with our values and all life around us. Doing this work takes rest & restoration.

How are you filling your cup, this ?

What we’re not gonna do is leave young people & families out of the conversation around .

We know far to well that young people, especially BI/POC youth, are often left out of critical decisions that affect their livelihoods. When it comes to abortions & reproductive care, there is an added layer of shame, blame & isolation that young people experience.

Young people should have the power & control over their bodies, period.

Check out / —- they support young people understand their right & get the reproductive care they need.

Let’s realize the dream of Brown v. Board!

It’s been 68 years since 13 Black families won their lawsuit to desegregate America’s public schools and secured the right to equal education for students of color. And yet, we know the fight against structural racism in our schools and communities is far from over.

However, we are in a transformational moment in California — Our schools are receiving historic funding levels for the second year in a row, with millions of dollars from the Governor’s budget, as well as additional money for Community Schools.

We must cease this moment to create campus cultures that prioritize connections between students and staff, create shared decision-making between students, families and educators, center mental health, achieve racial equity and more!

Join us! Drop an ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼 if your ready!
