Raleigh Youth Empower is the youth voice of Raleigh, N.C., aligned with the Unity Principles of Women's March. We believe that the single most powerful act we can do is prepare young people with the skills and commitments to take action around causes that matter to them with courage, compassion and collaboration. We strive to organize community events, raise political awareness, and create a platform for our voice to be heard. Youth Empower Raleigh is one of over 100 Empower chapters across the U.S., mobilizing youth to organize around issues that impact their communities. We are guided by and organize from principles of revolutionary love and justice.

Our Values |
As an official chapter of Women's March Youth EMPOWER, Raleigh Youth Empower stands aligned with the values of the Women's March Unity Principles.
- We believe that Women’s Rights are Human Rights and Human Rights are Women’s Rights. We must create a society in which women - including Black women, Indigenous women, poor women, immigrant women, disabled women, Jewish women, Muslim women, Latinx women, Asian and Pacific Islander women, lesbian, bi, queer, and trans women - are free and able to care for and nurture their families, however they are formed, in safe and healthy environments free from structural impediments. |
