The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation and the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies have released a comprehensive policy guide aimed at addressing systemic issues facing Black communities nationwide.
“Forward Together: Black Policy Playbook for an Equitable America” outlines evidence-based solutions for lawmakers, advocates and community leaders across seven key areas: voting rights and civic engagement, economic opportunity and advancement, workforce development, education equity, health care access and affordability, criminal legal system reform, and technology and telecommunications policies.
The publication serves as a strategic road map for advancing policies that would benefit Black Americans, according to the organizations.
“African Americans continue to face a myriad of systemic issues in the United States that are strategically outlined in this much-needed policy playbook,” said Joint Center President Dedrick Asante-Muhammad. “The Joint Center and the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation were founded to advance the social, political and economic status of Black Americans, and this policy agenda and partnership furthers that promise.”
Asante-Muhammad praised the collaboration between the two organizations and thanked additional partners who contributed to the publication.
