Empowering Heroes in Black Communities

Community Hero is an organization dedicated to convening, empowering and mobilizing supportive voices and forces of the African American community by creating long-term capacity and sustainable influence on policy, especially where there has been historic racial disparity.

CH is agile and responsive to the needs of our communities across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 

MOBILIZING

Voting and accountability is more frequently than not, a focus only during election years.  This must change. 

• Our goal is to create long-term capacity,  providing sustainable influence on political outcomes necessary to effect the positive change we want to see in our neighborhoods, our cities, and our state. 
• The only way this will occur is through the mobilization of a network of civic-minded individuals with a common cause.  

EMPOWERMENT

Having a strong personal and communal infrastructure is key to having a solid, responsive voting bloc. 

• Developing initiatives that empower our community in areas such as finance, youth empowerment, and workforce training is vital to strengthening our community.  

CONVENING

Hosting conferences, meetings, and workshops that focus on issues that matter to the African-American community. 

• Consistent education and messaging provides a space for our community to absorb critical information because education continues to be and always will be the cornerstone to a democratic, equitable existence. 
• Being well-versed on the topics that impact our communities allows us to become more insightful as a body, and more importantly allows us the ability to identify points of commonality that can be successfully addressed collaboratively.
