Develop and Support a policy Agenda that results in tangible economic and social benefits that impacts “Every Nook & Cranny of the African- American Community.”
Economic Justice Reform
Criminal Justice Reform
Education Reforms
The current political and corporate environment is very sensitive to issues of racial inequality, and present a unique opportunity for the Black community to get funding to fix the flooding, roads, and sidewalks in their communities; finance job and business opportunities to the dreamers in their communities; allocate tax dollars to build recreation and greenspaces in their communities. It will be our community that defines what she needs, and how the resources are allocated, spent, and measured.

It Takes Action to Get Our Agenda Addressed. Let’s Roll Up Our Sleeves and Let’s Get To Work!!!!
The Leadership in the community has come together to form a document simply titled, “The Black Agenda”. For our community to realize the benefits of this agenda, we must come together as one. We realize that we are stronger by coming together than we are fighting as individual organizations and communities. We also realize that this is a unique moment, and that it is our responsibility to not let it pass us by because we are unfocused as it relates to the needs of our community. Our time is now. We have waited a lifetime.
