Save the Kids (STK) is a grass-roots fully-volunteer organization that is grounded in the values of Hip Hop activism and transformative justice, which advocates for alternatives to, and the end of, incarceration of all youth. MISSION STATEMENT: Save the Kids (STK) is a grassroots, fully volunteer organization grounded in the values of Hip Hop Activism and Transformative Justice. STK encourages community empowerment and self-determination, while working to end: targeting of youth, the school-to-prison-pipeline, youth incarceration, and ALL other forms of oppression. TEN POINT PRINCIPLES: 1. We believe that all youth need support, love, and skills in order to achieve their goals. 2. We believe that all youth are amazing and wonderful no matter their actions they have committed. 3. We make a clear distinction between actions and kids; actions can be bad, but not kids. 4. We are committed to helping youth because they are our future and if we do not help them, we will not have one. 5. We believe in respecting all no matter what their gender, ability, race, economic status, sexuality, religion, ethnicity, health, age, or nationality. 6. As a Hip Hop activist organization, we work towards both social justice and the end of all forms of oppression and domination, specifically the school-to-prison pipeline. 7. As an organization based on transformative justice principles, we strive to promote alternatives to incarceration, such as community-based programs, rather than institutionalization. 8. We believe in peace and nonviolence in resolving and transforming all conflicts. 9. We believe in not labeling, but rather being inclusive in all of our activities. 10. We promote that everyone in the community should work together in making a peaceful world and not to exclude anyone. STK will work with everyone and anyone in-order to achieve that goal.
