Our Vision

We envision a world where Black people and communities, Indigenous people and communities, and poor and working people of all races and ethnicities, have what they need to take care of their families, to live lives of dignity, self-determination, and peace. We envision a world where the earth is thriving. 

To get to this world, the vast majority of us-Black communities, Indigneous communities, and poor and working people of all races, must unite and gain the power to govern the systems that currently exist, and create new ways of organizing society and relating to the earth. 

We believe that young people are critical to the creation and leadership of this vision.

Hearing Youth Voices develops working class, Black and brown young people into courageous and skilled leaders capable of running issue-based campaigns, leading coalitions and alliances, and uniting us across our differences to build the power necessary to advance racial, economic, and gender justice.
