Mission

MISSION: FIERCE is a membership-based organization building the leadership and power of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth of color in New York City. We develop politically conscious leaders who are invested in improving ourselves and our communities through youth-led campaigns, leadership development programs, and cultural expression through arts and media. FIERCE is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of social justice movement leaders who are dedicated to ending all forms of oppression.

What We Do

FIERCE brings together queer, trans, and gender nonconforming youth of color between the ages of 13-24 to develop Direct Action Campaigns. We currently approach our work from an anti-police brutality, anti-gentrification, and access to public safe space for QTGNC youth of color inter-sectional lens. Our work includes:
Protest
Meeting with elected official
Participatory Action Research
Community building and cultural events
Leadership development and political education training with a popular education lens and framework
Member-led committee meetings
