Washington State NAACP Youth Council

Statewide,

Community Focus: Black American

Too often in public education, the voices of youth are excluded and the response to racism is little to no action. No longer. N-YC unites anti-racist youth across Washington into one coalition that demands a seat at the table. As Shirley Chisholm once said, “If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” We are youth with representation at dozens of schools across several districts — with loads of folding chairs. It’s time not just for the youth to be at the table but for anti-racism to be at the top of the agenda.
