We’re a collective of young leaders of color, standing together at the front lines of the fight for racial justice.

We’re from Mississippi and Texas, Florida and North Carolina, Ohio and countries we were born in but don’t live in. We’re from every state and every ‘hood, and we call America home.

In 1964, a group of young leaders came from all around the country to register as many African- American voters as possible for 10 hot, historic weeks. They called it the Freedom Summer.

In 2014, on the 50th anniversary of the Freedom Summer, this generation’s leaders are inheriting that legacy to continue that fight.

Together, we defiantly claim that our lives matter.
