End Youth Stereotypes – NoMo!

This is a movement dedicated to erasing the harmful stereotypes that unfairly affect the young people in our city. We believe in breaking down barriers, challenging assumptions, and fostering a more inclusive and supportive community for all youth. Join us as we say ‘No More!’ to negative stereotypes and work towards a brighter, more equitable future for our city’s youth.

All Negative Stereotypes That Plague The Youth of Our City – NoMo!

Playing off of slang, NoMo! means no more drug abuse, no more teen pregnancy, no more illiteracy, no more violence as well as all the other negative stereotypes that plague our youth. But it is really felt through a passionate rap/chant:

NoMo! Teen Pregnancies
NoMo! Drug Abuse
NoMo! Illiteracy NoMo! Violence
NoMo! NoMo!
