About the Event

The goal of Black Citizen is to build community power by investing in emerging leaders who seek to sustain the movement for Black lives by transforming their local communities.

Applications are NOW OPEN for the second cohort of Emerging Leaders in our Change Makers program. This program provides professional leadership coaching, micro-grants up to $10,000, and an opportunity to publish original work and be featured on a YouTube show through a collaboration with LastGenPublishing.

With your help, 6 new community organizers will achieve:

  • better defined social agency
  • increased competency around movement building
  • adoption of tools to collectively challenge oppressive systems
  • and a thought leadership platform to scale their impact through others

(see program details below)
