Only Together - The Passion Project

The protests and unrest across the country are not unfamiliar, and have shown that change is still needed. They are a call to action and we all need to answer the call. Many children in predominately African-American communities and at-risk neighborhoods are born at a severe disadvantage. This is by no fault of their own, but rather is a reflection of the systemic injustices that have plagued this country for centuries. These kids are not given the external support nor the resources to succeed and are set up with the deck stacked against them from the moment they are born. We are launching The Passion Project with the goal to change this. Our nation's capital is meant to act as the beacon of hope for our country, but this hope should not be reserved only for those that can afford it. It should not be just for those born into privilege.The Passion Project is launching in Washington DC so the hopes and freedoms this country was founded on can be accessible to all kids across the country, regardless of who their parents are, the color of their skin, or where they were born. Only together can we give all kids equal opportunity. Only together can we put an end to the systemic racism and oppression many of them face. Only Together.

There are 124,000 kids living in Washington DC. But of those kids, the poverty rate among African Americans is over 4 times as high compared to kids that are white living in the same city. These kids are living just streets apart yet they are living in completely different worlds. The Passion Project aims to end this injustice first in DC and then throughout the country. The Passion Project was created to give kids the resources and support needed to break free from the systemic disadvantages and oppression facing their communities.
