IT IS OUR DUTY TO WIN!
Hands Up United is a collective of politically engaged minds building towards the liberation of oppressed Black, Brown and Poor people through education, art, civil disobedience, advocacy and agriculture. It is our duty to win and empower our communities so we can continue to build.
Our signature programs are:
BOOKS AND BREAKFAST
- On the last Saturday of every month, Hands Up United facilitates a #BooksAndBreakfast for the Greater St. Louis area. We believe knowledge is power and it is imperative for our community to know their history, understand the root of America's racism and economic inequalities, as well as our victories so we can continue to connect the dots in this struggle. We offer free adult, teen and children books over a warm freshly made breakfast platter. Read more here.
ROY CLAY SR. TECH INSTITUTE
- We believe 21st century movements requires 21st century skills. We offer free 6-week technology training workshops, combining activism and coding, to local St. Louis natives between the ages of 16 and 30. Read more here.
