At CitizensNYC, we’re proud to champion diverse leadership, and this Women’s History Month, we especially celebrate the 68% of our grantee partners who identify as women or non-binary.
Today we are highlighting Marrisa, Founder and Executive Director of @ARTEJustice an organization that empowers students to advocate for human rights through creativity. ARTE centers youth voices and nurtures leadership skills through opportunities to train and organize their peers in tackling local and global human rights challenges.

“It's disheartening to see a system that profits from the theft of labor and the captivity of humans functioning so effectively. The 13th Amend abolished slavery. #ExceptForMe.” – @yattaman44

ATTENTION Young Leaders! Our Fall 2022 paid internship program application is now open!
🚨The second incarcerated person this week dies on Rikers—11th this year. This is an absolute scandal. Rikers is in crisis & @NYCMayor refuses to take action to save lives.
How many deaths will it take for Mayor Adam’s to address the ongoing crisis? #CutShutInvestNY #CloseRikers
