FEATURING KRISTIN POWELL - The Black to the Future Action Fund released a report called “The Black Economic Agenda” on August 8, a set of key economic priorities for Black communities across the United States. The fund hopes to guide elected officials and political candidates seeking office on how best to court Black voters ahead of the November 2024 election. 

The report comes just months after the release of data from the 2023 Black Census, a poll of more than 200,000 Black people across all 50 states, considered to be the largest such survey of Black Americans in U.S. history. The census results were used to guide the economic roadmap.
