no Justice, No Peace

OUR WORK HAS JUST BEGUN

When we, as an organization, began having conversations about race, privilege and power, it wasn’t just for us to discuss our strategy or best practices – It was to understand how to move differently as a collective to support our communities that we know are vulnerable and routinely preyed upon and build towards an anti-racist world.


In response to the ever-growing and unacceptable list of Black and Brown people who have been killed because of violence and racism, Summer Search developed a Black Lives Matter Community Series — a series to come together to heal, learn together, and discuss how we can take action to create a world where all young people can thrive.

BLM: Community Series 2020

How to Get Involved

CONTRIBUTE TO THIS WORK

Check out a recap of our complete BLM Series on our blog. Learn more about receiving a print of the live illustrations from our events.

Below are some additional ways to contribute to the organizing work that's taking place in our communities, for our causes and resources for deepening our learning. It's important that in this time, we not only check in with each other, but also with ourselves to care for our spirit as we move through this together.
