Power Up\u2019s mission and hope is to create an anti-racist future in which all Black, Indigenous, and marginalized communities live in liberation and freedom. <\/strong><\/p>\n

We want a future where Black men, women, and children are not killed by the police due to an inherently racist policing system; a future where Black mothers are not 3-4 times more likely to die during pregnancy than white mothers; a future where Black children are not incarcerated at higher rates than non-Black children due to the school-to-prison pipeline; a future where Black Trans women are not killed at alarmingly high rates. Power Up is fighting for a future that is void of all systemic and institutional racism<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Please check our list of demands that we hope will help create a more just and equitable future where Black lives do not just matter, but are celebrated and affirmed constantly.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
