DESCRIPTION:We want the unheard voices to be present on January 4th at 12pm at City 
 College of San Francisco Southeast Campus (1800 Oakdale Avenue) so we can 
 begin to rebuild and protect our communities.\n\nThis event is to bring 
 together disengaged youth and community members from Hunterspoint, Potrero 
 Hill, Sunnydale, Mission, Fillmore, Tenderloin, and Lakeview who are not 
 currently active in this movement happening across the nation.\n\nEngaging 
 youth requires innovative strategies. Black intellectuals can analyze the 
 system and organize all day everyday, but "what good do your words do if 
 they can't understand you", we need the youth who aren't plugged in to be 
 apart of this movement. #BlackLivesMatter \n\nBecause you matter! We 
 matter! Our hoods matter!\n\nSan Francisco has the fastest out migration of 
 Black people since post-Katrina New Orleans. I feel that it is time that we 
 show the city we are still here, we are young, we are strong, we will fight 
 our whole lives long.\n\nThis symposium will bring together experts, 
 practitioners, members of community development organizations, local high 
 school and college BSU ambassadors, and youth leaders to create innovative 
 solutions to the racist issues that directly impact youth and their 
 communities. A list of demands to stop police brutality, change current 
 policy and practices as it pertains to law enforcement, and reinvest in 
 Black and Brown communities will be presented to the community at this 
 symposium. The symposium will develop a series of key calls to action and 
 plans for major demonstration utilizing social capital and existing 
 community resources as mechanisms for youth development worldwide. \n\nThe 
 active engagement and development of leadership skills among 
 disenfranchised youth in marginalized neighborhoods of San Francisco is 
 essential to national security, stability, capacity building, and increased 
 quality of life worldwide. This symposium will bring together community 
 organizers from around the Bay Area, along with practitioners and members 
 of community development organizations, subject-matter experts, and youth 
 leaders to showcase and exchange their experiences and best practices in 
 this area.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/12/30/18766189.php
