Black youth and their allies shaped and continue to shape New York as a cultural capital, but rapid gentrification is making it nearly impossible for these culture creators to afford to live and thrive in the very neighborhoods they’ve loved.

We are committed to connecting Black people across generations and continents so that we can learn and grow together. Our leadership reflects the rich diversity of Blackness supported by co-conspirators across races and ethnicity who understand the need for Black leadership in all aspects of our society.
