EDUCATING, ORGANIZING AND TRAINING FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE.
For more than 25 years, The Brotherhood Sister Sol (BroSis) has been at the forefront of justice — racial, economic, educational, environmental, criminal and gender. Through unconditional love, around-the-clock support and wraparound programming, we make space for Black and Latinx young people to examine their roots, define their stories and awaken their agency.
WE EDUCATE:
Through our comprehensive educational programs, we’re helping young people develop a critical understanding of their history, identity and role in society.
WE ORGANIZE:
Together with our members, alumni and partners, we’re building on a legacy of youth-led activism to realize a more just and equitable future.
WE TRAIN:
Through our innovative training models, we’re empowering educators and organizers to spark young agents of change across the nation.
Founded and headquartered in Harlem, BroSis offers far-reaching opportunities for young people across the country to transform their lives and communities.
"I’ve stood on platforms around the world…many occasions that would be…auspicious, important. I have been anointed, I have been blessed and I have been admired, and I am now at my eighty-third year in life. I can honestly say with total recall, that no other event has ever meant this much to me as this evening, this very moment, in my public life."
