The death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers set off a wave of protests across the nation. Movements for racial, social, and economic justice are often led by young people who put their energy, creativity, and bodies on the line for change.
How does witnessing injustice impact young people’s mental health? How do protest and movement building support healing? What more is needed to care for young people’s wellbeing in a time of uprisings for racial justice? This panel will explore these questions and more with young movement leaders who are advancing justice and healing in their communities.
Instructions for Zoom will be provided to all registrants.
Panelists include:
-
Hernan Carvente Martinez, National Youth Partnership Strategist at Youth First Initiative
- Jazmine Wildcat, 2020 Center for Native American Youth Champion for Change
-
Lashon Amado, Interim Project Director at Opportunity Youth United and member of CLASP's Mental Health Advisory Board
Moderated by CLASP’s Nia West-Bey, Senior Policy Analyst, and Kayla Tawa, Research Assistant.
