Shout-out to our partners at the Northampton County NAACP and Wilson NAACP Branch for the work they continue to do in our communities. Special recognition to Branch Presidents Daly-Mack and Johnson, along with their volunteers, for showing up and making these moments possible.

This is what community looks like. This is what it means to show up for each other.

On the road and organizing for our future. 🚌✊🏾

Black Voters Matter and MOMA came together for a Baby Bus Tour to connect with communities, stand against bullying and gun violence, and push for the policy changes our families deserve.

This is what it looks like when we show up, build, and fight forward. Together.

At the Onslow County Council for the Arts, new moms came together for a day of care, connection, and community.

From free braiding and skincare to hands-on self-care and WIC resources, this event centered what every parent deserves — support.

With newborns in the room and more babies on the way through January, this was a reminder that care for moms matters just as much as care for babies.

Join us for our Juneteenth Book Club as we dive into Black Owned by award-winning author Char Adams—and yes, she’ll be joining us live for the conversation!

Together, we’ll explore how Black bookstores have been powerful spaces for resistance, liberation, and community.

This is more than a book club—it’s a space to learn, connect, and build.

Our Michigan partners and coalition members gathered at the Michigan Voices table to connect, plan, and move this work forward—centering critical conversations around Black male mental health and addressing gun violence.

These spaces matter. This is where ideas turn into action, and where community solutions are shaped by the people most impacted.

Across Louisiana, our partners have been on the front lines—from Baton Rouge to communities statewide—fighting for fair representation and the power of our voices.

At the State Capitol, organizers showed up day after day to make one thing clear: this fight is about who gets heard and who gets left out. Even when the process felt stacked, our communities did not back down—we spoke out and made sure our voices were on the record.

And the work continues beyond the Capitol. Shoutout to the amazing students of Top Teens and Top Ladies of Distinction, Monroe Chapter, for an inspiring teach-in with young leaders who are ready to carry this work forward.

When we fight, we WIN—no matter what!

Our Mississippi team joined thousands in Jackson to stand together and send a clear message: we’re not going back to Jim Crow—NO MATTER WHAT.

From powerful voices to bold leadership, this action was a reminder of what it looks like when communities come together to protect our rights, defend representation, and push back against injustice.

We’re proud to stand alongside leaders and organizers across the South who continue to show up, speak out, and fight back.

In Tennessee, our team—alongside Memphis Community Against Pollution—hosted a tree planting event at TO Fuller Park.
It was a beautiful reminder of what it looks like to care for both our community and our planet. Together, we planted 10 new trees, investing in cleaner air, stronger ecosystems, and a more sustainable future.

Moments like this highlight the importance of protecting our Earth, practicing sustainability, and building self-sufficient, thriving communities.

This is just the beginning—we’ll be back with more events at the park soon!
