Why BYP100?
Founded in 2013, BYP100 (Black Youth Project 100) is a member-based organization of Black youth activists creating justice and freedom for all Black people. BYP100 mobilizes through building a network focused on transformative leadership development, direct action organizing, advocacy, and education. Our membership core believes in the principles of decision-making, radical inclusivity, and is building a Black politic through a Black, queer, feminist lens.
Organizationally, BYP100 centers their work on ending systems of anti-Blackness and emphasizing the urgency of protecting folks living on the margins of the margins, including women, girls, femmes, and the gamut of LGBTQ folk. Through relational organizing which involves community building through a democratic and consensus building process, BYP100 stresses training in grassroots organizing, fundraising, public policy, and electoral organizing. Lastly, BYP100 engages in digital content creation (video, graphics, blogging), political education, and consciousness raising.
