This article highlights main themes that emerged from our panel featuring youth organizers and scholars of youth social movements in California. We focus on how organizations uplift youth leadership, foster queer inclusivity, build across racial difference, and cultivate “beloved community,” a concept popularized by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Our organizations address the root causes of inequities that threaten low-income communities of color, while adapting to contemporary challenges by proposing new modes of social change. For example, youth-centered leadership has long been at the crux of youth organizing; meanwhile, “healing” has increasingly emerged as a prominent aspect of youth organizations devoted to social change. This article thus summarizes our panel’s insights about youth organizing across California.

本文重点介绍了来自我们的小组的主要主题，该小组的成员来自加利福尼亚的青年组织者和青年社会运动学者。我们专注于组织如何提升青年领导力，培养酷儿包容性，跨越种族差异并培养“受人喜爱的社区”，这是马丁·路德·金（Martin Luther King Jr）博士推广的概念。我们的组织致力于解决威胁到低收入社区的不平等现象的根源颜色，同时通过提出新的社会变革模式来适应当代挑战。例如，以青年为中心的领导长期以来一直是青年组织的症结。同时，“康复”已日益成为致力于社会变革的青年组织的重要方面。因此，本文总结了我们小组对整个加利福尼亚州青年组织的见解。
