Action Alert: Contract for Black America

As the world faces unprecedented times and new realities during this global pandemic, and incidents of hate and domestic terrorism are perpetuated leading to routine brutalization of Black Americans, the health and safety of our people are at an unparalleled risk.

Senseless hate crimes and incidence of coronavirus deaths spreading throughout the Black community are evidence of the of systematic racism and privilege granted to white people in America.

Our communities are experiencing the worst outcomes on all fronts. From every location reporting data in the nation, Black Americans are being harmed — both in infections and fatalities — in higher percentages. We must fight for equality during this uncertain time.

We are done dying.
