Review of Policy Effects on Black Families and Children: Advancing the Black Child National Agenda
In this new report, The Children’s Equity Project and the Equity Research Action Coalition review the impacts of several social policies across health, education, housing, and income/wealth- on Black children and families.
This report advances the Black Child National Agenda, developed in 2021 by the Equity Research Action Coalition and other partners, by examining major policies and programs in the United States that impact the lives of Black children and families. It is critical to identify policies that can protect Black children and families from harm and trauma; promote their health, wealth, and access to educational excellence; and preserve their cultural heritage, language institutions, and healthy racial identity.
