Current Outreach Missions
On October 6th of this year, Jaheim McMillan – a 15-year-old black boy – was shot in the head 8 times in front of a Family Dollar by a Mississippi police after putting his hands up in compliance. The Next Gen Come Up has since partnered with Jaheim's mother -- Katrina Mateen -- and a number of other grassroots organizations to organize marches and community outreach efforts throughout Gulfport, Mississippi. The goal of these demonstrations is to demand that the officer responsible for Jaheim's death be held accountable, lend support to families that have fallen victim to police violence in the south, and demand that Family Dollar either releases the footage of Jaheim’s murder his family or risk being boycotted. Our goal is to mobilize 1,000 people, students, and civic leaders to demand Justice for Jaheim, and we are depending on you — volunteers, donors, and amplifiers — to help us execute said the goal with precision.
