BLACK FUTURES LAB

Black Futures Lab works with Black people to transform their communities, building Black political power and changing the way that power operates—locally, statewide, and nationally. The problems facing Black communities are complex. The solutions to these problems will come from their imagination, their innovation, and experimentation. Changing their communities for the better requires changing a culture that takes Black people for granted and changing policies and laws that make us criminals... and keep resources from their communities. To get there, They work to understand the dynamics impacting their communities; they build the capacity of their communities to govern; and they engage and include Black people in the decisions that impact their lives. There are three ways that Black Futures Lab is a different kind of project for change: their mission to engage Black voters year-round; their commitment to use their political strength to stop corporate influences from creeping into progressive policies; and their plan to combine technology and traditional organizing methods to reach Black people anywhere and everywhere they are.More
