Why we do what we do.

WHY WE CARE:  Our Health Matters

Blacks die from every chronic disease at a higher rate than any other ethnic group.

 

WHY WE CARE:   Our Wealth Matters

For every dollar the median white household has, the median Black household has 10 cents.

 

WHY WE CARE: Our (Consistent) Vote Matters

Blacks votes when they believe interests are being met, and don’t vote as a protest to inequalities embedded in the political process.
