IMAGINE BLACK FUTURES

Focus: civic engagement imagine black futures proudly advanced its mission through our civic power campaign, childcare campaign, public safety campaign, and just transitions campaignall focused on deepening civic engagement. This year, we successfully recruited a staff member to serve on the metro regional government committee on racial equity and deployed our civic engagement 101 curriculum. We hosted the parent & provider activist summit at our center for black radical imagination in old town, portland, and recruited two members to the metro transportation alternatives committee. Our staff played pivotal roles on key advisory boards, including the historic albina advisory board (haab), kaiser permanente's black health community advisory council, and the oregon health authority's state health assessment steering committee. We facilitated 3 virtual workshops focused on civic engagement and community organizing and maintained participant involvement in the multnomah county health department budget advisory committee. Additionally, our policy staff engaged extensively in the metro regional transportation plan and identified future opportunities for involvement in projects such as regional flexible funds, tv highway, and the 82nd avenue corridor. These activities underscore our unwavering commitment to building civic power and advancing equitable policies for black oregonians.
