STATE OF BLACK AMERICA
First issued in 1976, the State of Black America® is one of the most highly-anticipated benchmarks and sources for thought leadership around racial equality in America across economics, employment, education, health, housing, criminal justice and civic participation. Each edition contains penetrating commentary and insightful analysis from recognized authorities and leading figures in politics, the corporate and tech sectors, the nonprofit arena, academia and popular culture.
The 2022 State of Black America® Under Siege: the Plot to Destroy Democracy, raises the alarm on the outlook of Black and Brown people as political forces have launched an all-out assault on voting rights.
The Urban League is partnering with IssueVoter to give everyone an equal voice in our democracy by making civic engagement accessible, efficient, and impactful. IssueVoter makes it easy to engage with your political process.
How it Works:
Track your rep's activity. We tell you how your rep voted, how often your representative agrees with you, and whether or not they’ve attended a vote.
Encourage open discussion. You can share an issue on your favorite social network, without revealing your personal opinion.
Act on issues that don’t make headlines. We don’t only tell you about what is breaking the news; we check for updates every hour to make sure you have the latest information.
Become an informed voter. Using IssueVoter year-round informs you before elections and keeps money's influence out of your opinion. Only re-elect reps who truly represented you.
