How are you Reclaiming Our Humanity?

Since 2015, Forward Promise and The Moriah Group have been disrupting the dehumanization of young people of color and their communities. In that short time, we have matured into a robust vehicle for reclaiming our humanity. The trauma of dehumanization connects us all, but we each have our own reason to disrupt systems of oppression. We invite you to join our #ReclaimingOurHumanity campaign by sharing what you do to rehumanize your lives and affirm the full humanity of your communities.

Social Media Toolkit

First, we invite you to reflect on the following questions:

Who are you reclaiming our humanity for?
What are you reclaiming our humanity from?
Why are you reclaiming our humanity?

Next, share your thoughts via social media using the following guidelines:

Download this poster, print it, and write your statement in bold, legible letters.
Take a selfie with the poster and/or record a video sharing the reasons behind your statement.
Post your photo or video on your preferred social media platform with a caption and the hashtag #ReclaimingOurHumanity.
Invite your friends, colleagues, and network to participate.
