Core Values
-
LIT is an org dedicated to taking stances and amplifying voices aligned with our vision/values. Through collective action and organizing, we will build leaders equipped to combat all systems of oppression; and we recognize that an intersectional, anti-capitalist, and anti-colonialist framework is necessary for liberation
-
We commit to consistently and authentically re-evaluating the ways in which our capacity to uphold these frameworks is constrained by the NPIC. We recognize that this is necessary to fulfill our mission of empowering Black and Brown youth to dismantle oppressive systems and create the world we want to live in
