The mission of Jer's Vision: Canada's Youth Diversity Initiative (the Jeremy Dias Foundation) is to support youth who are addressing issues of discrimination in their schools and communities. Discrimination is still a major problem in Canada, and youth are part of the solution. The potential of youth is all too often overlooked, and we want to change that.
Jer's Vision seeks to support youth through programs and services that are open to everyone.

After hearing and reading about the Jena 6 situation and the injustice that was being done to Mychal Bell one of the defendant in the case, I was moved to try to get the story out to my school, Washington University in St. Louis and the Greater St. Louis area. I decided to organize a forum entitled: "Strange Fruit: The Jena 6 Story" and invited the father of Mychal Bell, Marcus Jones and radio personnel, Tony Brown that broke the story and named the group "Jena 6." I received both gentlemen contact information from my brother, Ronald Herd II.

More to come all too soon.

This tension has now became a serious problem in the life of the youth of not only LA but all over America's poverty stricken neighborhoods.

Teens Talk About Racism is exactly that as its name says, north New Jersey teenagers talking about racism at this once yearly conference. The conference, started by Theodora Lacey, Clinton Lacey, Rori Kanter, Nancy Reardon and Maryann Woods-Murphy, seeks to encourage discussions and activities that challenge teenagers to examine themselves and their attitudes and to explore their potential to be the force of change in the anti-racism movement within their communities and the world at large.

A group I created in the spring of 2005 and has been meeting for two years bi-weekly; brings a sense of belonging, family, and comfort, somewhat like a "safe haven" to openly talk about racial issues; discuss experiences and feelings with members of the group to learn and build off of each other; guest speakers involved in the community attend meetings; provides support and appreciation for the diversity and cultural richness of my high school and the surrounding community, needless to say everywhere; community volunteer projects at local elementary schools, building a sense of closeness betwe
