We believe in a world where Black communities are thriving and have equitable access to power, resources, and the freedom to choose our quality of life. Black people deserve dignity, equal opportunity, and access to be healthy, safe, financially secure, and fairly represented.
For centuries, enslaved, free and foreign-born Black Americans have been under community control and surveillance, enforced by white supremacy, and fueled by structural racism. We have been stripped of financial, social, and political capital to survive and thrive. Under current systems and institutions, Black lives are devalued and disposable; Black families have been separated and decimated; and Black communities have been starved and voiceless.
Powered by The Equity Alliance, we’re creating an unapologetic reparations policy agenda that reflects the voices of more than 125,000 Black Tennesseans. It’s time to take bold action to revolutionize and transform what our communities can do, be and have!
For a community that is relentlessly harmed and under attack, The BlackPrint is our way of fighting for something instead of defending against attacks. Black people have always risen above the systemic attacks and false narratives rooted in white supremacy that seek to put barriers between us and our liberation. The BlackPrint is equal parts a mandate, a roadmap, a legislative policy solution, and a message delivered to anyone who wants to earn Black Tennesseans’ trust for the upcoming 2022 midterm elections.
No longer can we wait for if and when. It’s time to transform and revolutionize what our communities can do, be, and have. The urgency is now for The BlackPrint. Be a part of our vision by taking The BlackPrint survey today!
