Black Agenda 2020

is a policy platform that empowers Black communities to educate and challenge elected officials, policymakers, and legislators to take positions that are beneficial to our communities.

BLACK AGENDA 2020

For too long, people in power have conspired to rig the game, forcing Black people to work twice as hard to barely get half as far in America. We are falling further behind in health and wealth, safety and well-being.

NO MORE.

Black people can and will take our power back by:

1) Agreeing on the things we want.

2) Mobilizing our communities around those things.

3) Voting our agenda.

4) Holding decision makers accountable to our needs and priorities.

Our future can and must be different. Black communities deserve and demand thoughtful, visionary policies and practices that make us powerful in every aspect of our lives.
