Know Your Rights Training
Every Last Wednesday of the Month
"Teach a man to fish and they can eat forever; teach him how to organize and the entire community will."
- Ms. Aiyi'nah
Every Wednesday, our youth organizers meet to discuss their own community concerns. They agree on a plan of action that includes how to self-advocate, strategically organize, and cultivate cooperative economics from the community interests and needs. At The Future Foundation, social justice is more than a trending topic. Our Youth Organizing Squad has decided to heal from their own inter-generational trauma by channeling their resilience into equitable solutions. Every Thursday, you can hear from them directly on the only live radio show for youth from the Nation's Capitol, by them. We invite you to tune in by clicking their logo above. All of these organizing efforts are funded through sales of our very popular t-shirt. You can snag one below!
