Assata’s Daughters is a Black women-led organization formed by Black feminists and organizers in the south side of Chicago as a reaction to the violence in their neighborhoods. Through training and then participating in coalition-based campaigns, Assata’s Daughters provides mentorship for Black youth to learn to address the many social issues that impact their world.
Watch our latest #YouthInAction film and find out how Assata’s Daughters fight for change and overcome many obstacles, including the recent fire in their Chicago homequarters.
Following Their Lead: Youth in Action spotlights young leaders across the country who are challenging the system to create positive change on critical social justice issues. The fire that destroyed Assata’s Daughter’s homequarters is being investigated. Consider donating to help them rebuild at www.assatasdaghters.com
