ABOUT
WHO WE ARE
ABOLITION, LIBERATION, SOLIDARITY
Here4TheKids is a movement dedicated to collective liberation and the abolition of oppressive systems; through community and solidarity, we demand an equitable world for future generations.
Our younger generations are currently living with two existential crises:
Guns are the number one killer of children and teenagers in the United States.
Climate change is the greatest empirical threat to our entire planet, humankind, and species.
In addition to these two crises, we are currently seeing the indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinian children with our United States tax dollars, which is both unforgivable and causing profound fractures within our own democracy.
These crises affect both the present and future, fused by their roots in white supremacy, capitalism, and patriarchy.
We must plant seeds for change
We are a movement that no longer tolerates the ongoing surrender and systemic failure fortifying these existential crises — by the establishment that reinforces death, degradation, and destruction in order to prosper within capitalistic structures, strengthening their own supremacy.
Our mission is to liberate future generations by confronting and abolishing tools of oppression and re-imagining our global reality. Our fights for liberation are intersected and must be opposed in unison. And we are unafraid.
