Democracy Engagement
We are dedicated to connecting our people to the ballot box, but also by inspiring and training them to become the policy and decision-makers themselves.
When humanity’s rooting in white supremacy becomes so entangled in reality that black love and liberation become theory. When feeling freely and being free become rhetoric for afrofuturistic play. When imagined possibility can only be viewed from a rose-colored trauma lense.
