PLATFORM
Black humanity and dignity requires black political will and power. In response to the sustained and increasingly visible violence against Black communities in the U.S. and globally, a collective of more than 50 organizations representing thousands of Black people from across the country have come together with renewed energy and purpose to articulate a common vision and agenda. We are a collective that centers and is rooted in Black communities, but we recognize we have a shared struggle with all oppressed people; collective liberation will be a product of all of our work.

DEMANDS
End The War On Black People
We demand an end to the named and unnamed wars on Black people — including the criminalization, incarceration, and killing our people.
Reparations
We demand reparations for harms inflicted on Black people: from colonialism to slavery through food & housing redlining, mass incarceration, & surveillance.
Invest-Divest
We demand investments in the education, health, and safety of Black people, instead of investments in the criminalizing, caging, and harming of Black people.
Economic Justice
We demand economic justice for all and a reconstruction of the economy to ensure Black communities have collective ownership, not merely access.
Community Control
We demand a world where those most impacted in our communities control the laws, institutions, and policies that are meant to serve us.
Political Power
We demand full and independent Black political power and Black self-determination in all areas of society.
