Black Americans are bearing the brunt of policies that have dismantled protections, freedoms, and opportunities during the first year of Donald Trump’s second term. The kind of policy violence we’ve seen against our community has become the hallmark of this Administration, proving to all Americans that cruelty was always the point. But the spirit of Black America has always been strong and will never be broken.
Join the Fight
From education and access to healthcare to criminal justice, economic opportunity, voting rights, and environmental health, state-level policies determine the resources, rights, and protections our communities receive.
That’s why we need you to vote in the midterms this November and elect leaders who will hold Trump accountable. In the meantime, make your voice heard in state capitals across the country during State Legislative Advocacy Month in March.

TAKE ACTION
While Trump will try to distract us from his failed policies, here’s what we’ve seen:
Trump is Making America Sicker
The administration’s attacks on healthcare access are making America sicker, especially Black communities.
Trump is Burning the Country
The administration is accelerating fossil fuel expansion and fast-tracking dirty data centers into Black and frontline communities while gutting agencies that protect us, like the EPA, FEMA, and NOAA.
Trump is Breaking the Economy
Trump’s economy is straining Black families. Black unemployment is at 7.2%. High inflation, rising housing and food costs, mass layoffs, stagnant wages, and crushing student debt are eroding economic security — especially for the 300,000+ Black women who’ve lost their jobs.
Trump is Attacking Democracy
Trump is actively working to block Black access to the ballot box through gerrymandering, proof-of-citizenship barriers, attacks on vote-by-mail, and voter intimidation.
Far too many people are being impeded to accomplish the Full Potential.
