Take Action Advocacy Group will celebrate its 10th year of service to the Pittsburgh area with a public event from 5 to 8 p.m. Sunday (Sept. 22) at the Student Community Center of Penn State Greater Allegheny, founder Fawn Walker Montgomery has announced.
Founded in 2014 and then known as Take Action Mon Valley, TAAG’s mission is to empower and equip individuals facing social injustices through grassroots community organizing and the promotion of Black liberation, Montgomery said.
“Our organization’s purpose is to provide communities with the essential knowledge to leverage local grassroots efforts, enabling them to gain power and influence over decisions that impact their lives directly,” she said.
The anniversary celebration will include time for members to “reflect on our journey, highlight our achievements, and honor our legacy while emphasizing the ongoing work we are dedicated to in the Mon Valley, Allegheny County, and beyond,” Montgomery said.
To RSVP, visit the TAAG website.
