Stockton Stands

Empowering the Next Generation

Join Our Mission!

Empowering Youth

Stockton Stands is a youth-led organization building an international movement to stand up against oppression and build a powerful community that incubates education in which everyone is seen and heard regardless of background. Our goal is to bring awareness to the issues that affect local Stocktonians as well as the larger community through non-traditional means of challenging the status quo to bring about new leaders bound for radical change.

Our History

In May of 2020, the murder of George Floyd brought thousands of individuals together across the nation to stand in solidarity with Minneapolis. Co-founders Tehreem Khan and Jewelian Johnson first began this grass-roots organization as Stockton Stands with Minneapolis and held protests in our city to stand in solidarity with Minneapolis. Inspired by the abolitionist movement in Minneapolis, Khan and Johnson started a 501c(4) nonprofit called Stockton Stands to address the systemic issues in our city. With a lack of youth representation in Stockton, Stockton Stands is the first fully youth-led organization.
