"We Have a Dream" - Fasting for Justice

Youth organize to end racism/xenophobia that plagues their daily reality in Northern Virginia. "Whites Only" signs have been replaced with "English Only" nowadays in many of our communities. The reality is that this is the same racism that continues to haunt and trick people to fight amongst themselves. Youth go on a week long hunger strike and coordinate a press conference on the anniversary of MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech.

The Gathering’s Mission

The mission of The Gathering is to build an Intergenerational, movement, rooted in history, cultures and non-violent direct action to heal communities, build collective strength and generate an environment of hope and opportunity.

Civil rights and social justice organizations have come to understand that collective action on a national basis is required to stop child incarceration and challenge the immoral process which perpetuates an unjust justice system. These groups are working under extremely difficult circumstances and many of them with little or no resources. The Gathering is a national movement that creates a coordinated space to 1) fortify relationships between regional groups, 2) support local endeavors and 3) enhance the ongoing organizing of non-violent direct action training. Central to its mission is strengthening our moral environment.
