Homegrown is building an ecosystem of young people who are already changing the world.
There are too many young people in our community of San Diego and Tijuana who don’t have access to the tools and support they need to develop their ideas, or to learn and explore beyond school hours. There are so many of us who who have to ask for permission, who are pushed out of view and disposed of, who aren’t yet connected with others their age that might share their same dreams.
There are so many young people in our community who have been told “no” too many times.
There are so many young people in our community who have been told “no” too many times.
We are the youth who are already deeply embedded in our communities, building movements, disrupting systems of power, creating space for each other, and learning how to collectively survive in a pandemic under capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy.
We are the “yes” we need, and Homegrown is the space for supporting each other in our creating, disrupting, organizing, and learning journeys.
