"And the question is, can we find white people who are going to have the courage to go into white communities and start organizing them?" 

— Stokely Carmichael

We are an all-volunteer group of Northeast Ohioans, and our purpose is to bring the white people of Northeast Ohio into the fight for racial and economic justice by: 
→ Building a base of people who support our vision

→ Maintaining accountability by working in conjunction with community members and groups who are most impacted by racial and economic inequality

→ Engaging the community to influence and reframe the public narrative around issues of racial and economic justice

→ Participating in or running strategic campaigns to win concrete policy changes
