<p> I started Bay Area Youth For Justice because I wanted to create a
space for teenagers to talk. Talk about what they care
about, what worries them, what they celebrate, what issues really hit home. Because we can’t change the
world if we
don’t talk about what needs to be changed. Conversation is the first step towards making real progress--in
order to move
forward, we need to be united and understand each other’ s needs and views. And in order to be united and
understand
each other, we need to listen and talk to each other. We need to be heard and make other people feel
heard. That’s when
we can move forward as a society. Bay Area Youth For Justice is a place where teenagers and youth can be
heard and feel
like their views matter. It’s about listening, learning, talking, and growing together to create a more
accepting and
open-minded society.</p>
<p>- Antara Chugh</p>
<p>
The death of George Floyd was a tipping point for millions of people
around the world. The world was tired of seeing
injustice on top of injustice against black lives. In spite of COVID-19 thousands of people marched
peacefully to get
justice and spread awareness for all the black lives lost to police brutality. Social media was blowing up
with people
reposting instances of injustice to bring awareness and many different petitions were created to put
pressure on the
federal and national government. As a teengager myself, I was constantly on social media looking into the
posts that
many people reposted. I soon realized that a lot of the information we were getting was either false or
only showed one
side of the story. In order to bring justice to these situations we have to look at both sides and we have
to dig deep
and gather all the evidence we can. As I saw all of this unravelling around me, I realized that I wanted
to do something
more and I wanted to unite the youth in the Bay Area for something bigger. This is why I created Bay Area
Youth For
Justice. To give the youth a platform to speak out against the injustices they see in our world today
whether it be
through artwork, research papers, or group discussions. We are currently planning many zoom panels in
which activists
for specific movements can speak to our members about how to help this movement while also educating us
about the
movement. Bay Area Youth For Justice is a student led nonprofit committed to creating a safe environment
for people to
get educated and educate others.
