When White Americans catch a cold, Black Americans get Pneumonia…

Despite 400+ years of contributions to America, Black Americans continue to suffer substantial economic, quality of life, health, and educational disparities. For centuries, an unresponsive, apathetic, and often openly hostile political system has held these disparities in place. While the debate on how to secure a more equitable future rages on, building political power remains the most effective way to achieve systemic and lasting change.

P-68 focuses on a few glaring but fixable gaps in the modern Black Political Power ecosystem.

Increasing coordination between culturally influential messengers: Working with athletes and artists (A/A) to ensure that their civic engagement and-or political activity is effective, researched, and done in support of existing work.

Increasing coordination between culturally influential messengers: Working with athletes, artists, and brands (A/A/B) to ensure that their civic engagement and-or political activity is effective, researched, and done in support of existing work.

Increasing efforts and support of state-based movements: In maximizing resources and coordinating with trusted messages, we will further amplify the work of grassroots organizations and activists, creating strategic partnerships that benefit the community.    

Improving our inside game: Ensuring we have the most favorable legislative bodies and legislators for our agenda and policy area – from US Senate, Congressional, Gubernatorial, State Houses, and Senates.  

Improving our outside game: Empowering Black Americans to organize themselves through established, proven, and vetted local, grassroots, power-building organizations.
