We can join together to Invest in BIPOC Futures.
The world as it has existed has not served Black and Brown people. Today, we can come together and use our liberatory power to change the future. Our legislative agenda is one way we do it.
We’re taking a holistic approach to the 2023 Legislative Session, focusing on the underlying issues most central to the symptoms plaguing our communities.
