Philly Children's Movement

The Philly Children's Movement knows that families and schools are critical spaces for building racially just communities. We know that, in order to create systemic change, we must change the way that people raise children. Raising children who are racially literate, able to see and address systemic issues, and equipped to speak up and out, creates a powerful shift in how our society operates. Children are keen organizers who have a natural radar for unfairness and injustice — PCM works with youth as thought-partners and co-conspirators in unlearning, disrupting, and creating new systems- both within their own thinking and in the wider society. We envision a world in which all people are liberated, whole, and valued. We work to dismantle racism, anti-Blackness, and White supremacy. Our organizing for racial justice happens in schools, community events, child-centered activism, and racial justice campaigns.
