LIVE Black Youth Corps
It is important that racism against Black youth be addressed in youth spaces. In these spaces you are developing a sense of your identity. Racism creates unhealthy conditions and can inhibit your development. Black youth should be able to effectively organize and advocate for yourselves and your peers to address racism, inequity and injustice. This requires Black youth empowered by freedom from internalized racism (accepting the lies told about you) and empowered by your ability to challenge and affect change against  racist systems.
Good Journey wants you to LIVE (Leaning Into Value & Equity), and will train Black youth and young adults to use our LIVE organizing model to challenge racism and change racist systems. Following training, you and your peers will be a part of LIVE Black Youth Corps in your school or community and work to develop a plan for your racial justice movement, recruit peers to join, and and organize and advocate for justice.
