Anti Racism Project, via ERASE Racism

The Project offers participants ways to examine the crucial and persistent issue of racism.

We mobilize Long Islanders through political education, grassroots organizing, leadership development, and the creation of cooperative economic institutions to redistribute wealth and power.
