Black Youth Project 100 (BYP100) is an African American youth organization in the United States.[1] Its activities include community organizing, voter mobilization, and other social justice campaigns focused on black, feminist, and queer issues.[2] The national director is D'Atra "Dee Dee" Jackson.[3]
BYP100 was founded in 2013, and was motivated by the response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman in his trial for the killing of Trayvon Martin.[4] Founding members include Charlene Carruthers.
As of 2019, the group has chapters in Chicago, New York City, the District of Columbia, New Orleans,[5] Detroit, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Durham, and Jackson.
