STATE OF BLACK AMERICA

The annual publication of the State of Black America®, now in its 47th edition, is one of the most highly anticipated sources for thought leaders around racial equality in America 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 2023 State of Black America examines rising extremism, how it results in dangerous and misguided public policy, and the threat that it poses to our safety, our way of life, and our democracy.

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.
