Our Mission + Vision
We know it is our responsibility as leaders in the Black community to identify and solve issues that affect us today and our future. We are building a transformative movement that is intersectional and intergenerational. We are creating a mechanism for change that is Black-conceived and Black-led to define the priorities of the Black diaspora in Texas, specifically Travis/Williamson County and Pearland, TX. The Black Leaders Collective welcomes the support of all Black leaders and allies.
Our Priority Issues
The Black Leaders Collective is focused on dismantling racially oppressed systems and structures in the areas of:
-Education
-Health
-Housing/Displacement + Preservation
-Transportation
-Economic + Workforce Development
-Culture, Arts + Entertainment
-Public Safety | Criminal Justice
-Policy
Our 2022 Action Plan
The Priorities and Action plan work was done collaboratively within eight of our Issue Groups, which are made up of Black leaders passionate about change, reform, and reimagining our future. Since June 2020, these groups have met to define the issues we wanted to address to break down systems of white supremacy in Travis/Williamson counties and Pearland, TX. In 2021, BLC completed 42 tasks together, and in January 2022 outlined a 7-generations plan together.
