Assata's Daughters

Assata's Daughters is a grassroots, intergenerational, organizing collective of Black women who love and support each other. Inspired by the Radical Monarchs, Assata’s Daughters was started to hold a necessary space for dialogue, celebration, and for exploration of the different forms of Black women’s empowerment and self-determination. A necessary space that protects, cherishes, and fights for the humanity of Black women. A necessary space that affirms all Black women along the gender spectrum. A necessary space that rejects respectability politics. A necessary space that resists against racism, as well as sexism, adultism, heteronormativity, transphobia, and all types of oppression we experience as Black women living intersectional lives.Quite simply, we aim to support young Black women’s leadership and participation within the Black Lives Matter movement: Unapologetically Black, young, radical women.Through this dedication, we create art, we protest, we sing, we heal, we build, we love, and we come together to lead and incite resistance.

In addition, our Youth Action Team is getting the word out to young people in Oakland and around the country about their right to opt out of the JAMRS private military recruiting database.BAY-Peace provides youth-led workshops and trainings to give other young people real information about the military that recruiters wouldn’t want you to know. We are reaching out to youth all over the Bay Area to organize for better alternatives.

Black Economic Justice Institute

The Black Economic Justice Institute (BEJI) was created in October 2012 because community advocates and activists saw the need for a voice regarding the unemployment and the under employment of Boston residents, people of color and females as it relates to construction and permanent jobs in the City of Boston. We took a stand against major construction companies and fought for compliance around the Boston Resident Job Policy (BRJP) ordinance. The BRJP ordinance states that there should be 50% Boston Residents, 25% people of color and 10% females. After protesting for over 200 days, our group of determined individuals partnered with the Boston Jobs Coalition to bring about a change to construction and permanent jobs. Since its inception, BEJI has worked with several organizations to help them bring attention to the un-justice of workforce development from East Boston to Roxbury. Along with the Boston Jobs Coalition we have won victories at the Airport, Chinatown Jamaica Plain and Roxbury. We fought and won Good Jobs Standards for Development that is going on in Roxbury and we are now working on a city-wide Good Job Standards campaign that will change the way the development process is conducted in Boston around construction and permanent jobs.

Black and Brown Workers Cooperative (BBWC)

We the Black and Brown Workers Cooperative (BBWC) actively challenge, resist and dismantle systems of oppression that adversely impact the Black and Brown worker. Thus, we push for the social and economic liberation of the Black and Brown worker.​We the Black and Brown Workers Cooperative, a direct action social justice entity, have come together to combat injustices that manifest both in and out of the non-profit organizational structure and in the broader community of Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Our mission is to actively challenge, resist and dismantle, those colonialist, white supremacist and oppressive systems that impact our lives as Black and Brown workers.Most importantly, we seek to create our own spaces where Black and Brown labor and community will define the value of their own work while setting roots in communities that establish Black and brown owned enterprise and collectively run spaces. Our philosophy is rooted in decolonization practices and organizing methodologies.Our mission stands at the intersection of both the Worker's Right's movement and the Black Lives Matter movement. We see these two movements as inextricably connected as the lives of Black and Brown workers and community members are valued differently in a raced and classed system. Finally, as descendants of Warrior African/Indigenous peoples, we see it as our Response-ability to continue the legacy of fighting for our Liberation.

Black and Pink Massachusetts

Black and Pink Massachusetts*' mission is to abolish the prison industrial complex and liberate LQBTQ+ people and people living with HIV/AIDS who are affected by that system through advocacy, support, and organizing.

Their goal is liberation. They have a radical view of the fight for justice: They are feminist. They are anti-racist. Theywant queer liberation. And They are against capitalism. Prisons are part of the system that oppresses and divides us. By building a movement and taking action against this system of violence, we will create the world we dream of. They celebrate the beauty of what exists now: Our love for each other. The strength of our planet. Our incredible resiliency. All of the power we have to continue existing. While dreaming and struggling for a better world, they commit to living in the present.

Abolition is their goal, and their strategy for action. Any advocacy, services, organizing, and direct action they take will remove bricks from the system, not put up more walls. They want revolution. And They will work on reforms too, even if they are only small steps at ending the suffering caused by prisons. Their work is based in the experience of people who are or were in prison. They know that those most hurt by the violence of the prison industrial complex have the knowledge of how to tear it down.

* Black and Pink Massachusetts is a standalone organization that is not affiliated with Black and Pink National.
