Our mission is to be an organization/network committed to the safety and liberation of all Black people, promoting Black leadership and Black-centered community transformation as we work collectively to build social and economic power, heal our communities and fundamentally transform our society. Our aim is to accomplish Black Liberation and shift society towards greater expressions of justice by dedicating ourselves to moving through organizing, political, philanthropic, and personal spaces with honor, accountability, and an unshakeable, unapologetic love for Black people. We believe that by building critical, cross-sector relationships between individuals and institutions who share our vision for Black liberation, we can engage in forward-thinking public policy campaigns that expand our collective social justice analysis and build the critical mass necessary to bend the moral arc of the universe towards justice.
