We asked our youth leaders, how their work creates racial healing? Romya Tanksley, response was “I am really proud of the Know Your Rights training that I have helped lead because we were able to work together to create community power to fight against the things that try to break our community..."
The work of racial healing continues as youth and adult leaders. Yurem Romero, a youth leader, identified that cycling, “has the power to unite communities, noting that even simple activities like bike repairs or group rides help bring people together.”

Today, the proposal passing indicates that the city continues to make decisions on behalf of youth and puts Black and brown youth at risk.
Instead of curfews and more policing, we have a different vision.
