More about We Got Work To Do
Building the just world we all want to see — one beat, one movement, one moment at a time.
Being anti-racist is lifelong learning. This learning is important but can also be joyful, even in complicated circumstances - both when we are alone and when we are in community learning from each other. There is no tough topic we can’t embrace with love. We meet you where you are while fostering brave conversation with kids designed to interrupt racism and stand up for one another.
