THE CAUSE
While Blacks make up 13% of the general population Black youth are disproportionately impacted by poverty and homelessness in America. In the spirit of Juneteenth and the trailblazers who came before us, “We are not free until we all are free”. This event will raise awareness around this serious issue, while highlighting organizations striving to reach vulnerable Black youth.
