Girls and Non-Binary Youth of Color Should Live Safe, Fulfilling Lives
We understand that at the local, state, and national level, government and political institutions have the power, and often control the purse strings to shape the lives of young people. We believe that by being both nimble, and values-driven we can shift the conditions under which girls, non-binary youth, and people of color exist.

Public Statements & Press
To address the needs of Black girls and non-binary youth at a national level, we launched A National Agenda for Black Girls (NABG) in November of 2019.
NABG is a collaborative project bringing the needs of Black girls to the national stage and amplifying the voices of Black girls in the 2020 elections and beyond by engaging organizations across the United States who are committed to the well-being of Black girls.
