Take the Field is a student-led organizing initiative created to empower Black students throughout the South with the resources and support they need to lead meaningful change both on their campuses and in their communities.
We focus on the issues such as:
- Racial justice
- Access to mental health services
- Police accountability
- Climate equity
- Voter rights
- Student debt relief
- Education equity and more!
From the Greensboro Sit-ins and the Atlanta Student Movement to the 1968 Uprisings at Howard University, Black student activism has always shaped our movements.
OUR MISSION
Take the Field is part of BVM’s mission to expand Black voter engagement and increase progressive power from the grassroots level. This campaign includes capacity-building training for student teams, offering guidance on effective campus activism.
Here’s how we’re making that happen:
- Grants starting at $500 to student-led groups.
- Resources and trainings to help students organize more effectively.
- Amplifying student work, ensuring their voices reach a larger audience.
