Take Action Mon Valley

We are committed to empowering individuals who are facing social injustices through grassroots community organizing and skill-building, with the aim of addressing current and future issues through political education, community organizing, and the promotion of Black Liberation. This approach is implemented through our diverse community programming initiatives. Our programs consist of short-term social justice complaints, establishment of local chapters, training and community consulting, storytelling that supports social justice initiatives, creation of blogs and podcasts, as well as engaging in wellness healing work.

The compliant program, affectionately known as Abolition Social Work, aims to empower BIPOC individuals to improve their quality of life by advocating for themselves and their loved ones in the face of racial injustice. This program provides participants with an advocacy plan after the initial call or intake, which can be completed online through our website. We then engage in weekly discussions to review goals, progress, and updates. The program is implemented virtually to accommodate those with disabilities or transportation limitations. Additionally, we connect participants to community-based mental health centers and informal peer support groups. Our goal is to support the mental health needs of residents by ensuring access to quality, affordable, and culturally responsive mental health providers and informal community supports. Our chapters is a community driven solution focused initiative that consist of both young people and adults who are BIPOC residents living in small communities. They come together to address issues that directly impact their lives. These small communities often face various threats that negatively affect their quality of life, such as racism and environmental concerns. Chapter members receive virtual and in person training in advocacy, local politics, voting education and grassroots organizing. After the training they develop community action plans that guide their advocacy priorities. By involving community residents in our chapters, we actively contribute to bringing about cultural change.
