In the understanding that young people need much more than traditional educational systems can provide, @youthtogether runs clothing closets, food banks, and on occasion, Tupac discussion groups. We went to Skyline HS to learn more:

Amidst concerns over kidnappings and missing cases of Black youth in Oakland, 27 nonprofits in Oakland declared a state of emergency. Our partner, @YouthTogether, provides a space and community for Black girls to get to know each other in a safe space.

Lastly we organized a truly special event for the Black Girls Group @youthTogether in Oakland. One of Hollywood’s most special talents, Nichelle Tramble Spellman, of The Good Wife and Apple TVs Truth Be Told, told the young girls about her awe-inspiring career journey.

We stand with them on the picket lines as they fight for fair wages and resources for their students.

Shoutout to Black Girls Group member Jocelyn for speaking out. -@YouthTogether #OaklandTeacherStrike

When Black kids go missing, they don’t get the same public attention as when white kids go missing. A CA bill would address this.

@sfchronicle & @JustMrPhillips chatted w. @YouthTogether's Black Girls Group on the CA bill.

A shoutout to @JustMrPhillips and "The Black Girls Group" from @YouthTogether for shedding light on the alarming rate at which Black children go missing and receive less press coverage due to the color of their skin. 🧵

In Community,

Youth Together (@youthtogether96), Asian Prisoner Support Committee (@asianprisonersc) & Urban Peace Movement (@urbanpeace510)

[YouthTogether @YouthTogether]

There’s been a lot of talk in the media lately about Asian Hate, but what is Asian Hate? And where does it come from? Collab with @urbanpeace @AsianPrisonerSC

[YouthTogether @YouthTogether]

This same criminalization also impacts parts of our own AAPI community as well. 

We joined forces because we don’t want to see the banner of AAPI Hate being used to justify racist public policies that don’t keep us safe and further criminalize people of color.

.@YouthTogether & the FIT closet at Skyline HS in OAK, providing much-needed support and resources for LGBTQ youth. It's heartbreaking to see a surge of bills targeting gender identity, but these orgs. give hope for a more inclusive future.- via @elissamio

Efforts to deter sideshows by criminalizing them are clearly ineffective in San Jose. We're glad Oakland City Council will be taking a closer look before moving forward with a similar policy.

Police are not mentors. Grassroots organizations rooted in community are. Any splinter of police or police programs is just as harmful to students as the larger body of policing.
