Wee The People (WTP) is a Boston-based social justice project for children ages 4-12. Launched in 2015 by two Black mothers racial justice educators Francie Latour and Tanya Nixon-Silberg , WTP organizes free, interactive workshops and events that explore activism, resistance, and social action through the visual and performing arts: music, dance/movement, theater, graphic arts, spoken word, and storytelling.

WTP’s curriculum features originally designed, interactive games that tap into kids’ innate love of play to foster learning. Our programming also includes customized small- and large-scale events, such as sign-making meet-ups and street marches, All of our programming feature teach-ins anchored by children’s books that reflect core WTP values: empathy, equity, racial justice, and social justice.
