We use policy to create systemic change in favor of our eight essential outcomes. We engage in public discourse on local, state, and federal policy to amplify the strengths and needs of Black children and families. Our guiding principle is that policy must respond to and be informed by the needs of Black children and families and also recognize the unique capacity of the Black community.
