Amplifying the Voices of Black Youth and their Parents in the La Crosse Area -
 A 2-part film series
Join us in this pressing educational program unveiling the perspectives of black youth and their parents in the La Crosse area. The murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor brought forth national protests against long-standing police brutality and systemic racism that permeates our country. 

In the La Crosse Area, multiple protests have been organized by local Black youth who shared their perspectives of experiencing racism, bullying, and stereotyping in our community from a very young age. 

​Each film showing includes a facilitated discussion and understanding on the film intended to amplify the voices of the La Crosse area black youth and their parents, to engage our community in necessary conversations about bias, racism, and privilege. We challenge our community to change the environment, policies and practices that disproportionately impact black youth and their families.

The intent of these films is to galvanize action - to change the status quo.
