National and Online Events & Actions
The State of the People POWER Tour came to Los Angeles June 6-7, 2025
Went to 12 cities across the country to rally, restore, and reimagine what’s possible for Black communities
The State of the People POWER Tour is a nationwide call to action; a movement to rally, restore, and reimagine what’s possible for Black communities across the U.S. Through powerful gatherings in cities across the country, we aim to activate a grassroots movement that amplifies Black voices, demands systemic change, and advances a national collective Black agenda rooted in justice and liberation – building toward the State of the People International Assembly on Juneteenth. This tour exists at the intersection of healing, resistance, and mobilization – recognizing both the urgency and power of our collective voice.
Sign up for the Rise For Freedom Trainings to learn about mutual aid, how to make political violence backfire, and strategy for blocking the Trump coup. Meetings are Thursday evenings from 5-7 pm PST, every Thursday until May 15.
