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.
We provide resources and services to those who need it most.
