#NAACPYC Applauds ‘My Brother’s Keeper Community Challenge’

 

I applaud the launch of the My Brother’s Keeper Community Challenge. This innovative and exciting program provides an opportunity for communities across the country to make a commitment to addressing the obstacles and challenges facing young boys and men of color. In light of the recent incidents in Ferguson, Missouri and countless other communities, we continue – now more than ever – to empower young people across the country with the tools to create lasting positive change within their local communities.

The NAACP Youth and College Division applauds President Obama’s vision and those who work tirelessly along side us to grow this generation of youth civil rights and social justice leaders.

You can sign the challenge here.
