We empower youth through culturally affirming literacy and place-based education.
We cultivate strong readers and grounded leaders by uplifting community history and equipping them to recognize and challenge the systems that perpetuate inequality.
We are only four days away from the Community Civics Lab and tonight we're asking where are the 18-35 year-olds and are we making room for them. Tune in at 8:00pm EST/7:00pm CT!
Join the Community Civics Lab team as we discuss why people feel disengaged from the political process and more.

We don’t tell you who to support. We help you understand government, elections, public decisions and how residents can stay informed and engaged.
Join us live tonight to discuss the Community Civics Lab at 7pm cst.
Join us to find out what the Lab is, what it isn't an why it matters to you!

Gadsden, you voted. Now what?
Your money, job opportunities, schools, neighborhoods, roads, housing and quality of life are all affected by decisions made in government. Knowing how those decisions get made and how you can have a say matters.
Join Clever Communities in Action for the next Community Civics Lab as we break down what happens after local elections, what’s ahead with the midterms, and how to stay informed and involved beyond Election Day.
It’s FREE, lunch is on us, and you could win a $100 gift card + more! 🎉

FINAL EPISODE: This week’s Roots & Routes of Black Resistance episode closes out Season 1 with the story of Ella Baker. Born in Norfolk, VA, Ms. Baker's organizing genius shaped generations of activists!
She believed that real change comes from everyday people working together, not just from one individual at the front. Her lessons on building bridges and collective power speak directly to the times we’re living in.
👉🏾 Watch the episode, reflect, and share it with someone who needs to hear her story today.
Season 1 may be ending, but the work continues. Stay tuned for ways to engage with past episodes and for how you can help bring Season 2 to life.
NEW EPISODE! ✊🏿📚
Robert F. Williams challenged the idea that Black people should always “turn the other cheek.” He believed our communities had the right to defend themselves. His stance reshaped the conversation on resistance.
The fact that so many of us have never heard his name is not an accident. Williams’ story has been suppressed because it challenges the narrow version of history we’ve been given.
👉🏿 Watch. Reflect. Share.
Because when our truth is erased, so is our power.
NEW EPISODE! ✊🏿⚒️
Fresh off Labor Day, we’re lifting up A. Philip Randolph, the man who organized Black workers when many unions shut us out. He proved that labor is leverage and that racial justice and labor power go hand in hand.
As billionaires and corporations hoard wealth and power while families and communities struggle, Randolph's blueprint is not just history. It's instruction for how we fight for a life where our work allows us to thrive, not just survive.
👉🏿 Watch. Reflect. Share.
How do we use labor power to push back today?
