HandsUpUnited 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.

THIS IS WHY WE FIGHT

While playing a critical role in the North American uprising for black lives, HandsUpUnited aims to fulfill the political void that remains from the historical archives of the black power movement. HandsUpUnited strongly believes liberation for black and brown oppressed individuals will solely be achieved through self determination and other impractical means of political education.

These values are easily observed through such programs as Books and Breakfast which is currently replicated in over 33 American cities and 2 continents. Our Technology Institute is aimed at teaching black and brown youth to use coding as a means of combating the complicated issues plaguing our communities. We have started a food and clothing disbursement program for poverty stricken families. We also host weekly men and women circles to help community deal with the psychological turmoils of oppression.
