“Building Unity, Health and
Wealth”
Civic participation is the greatest freedom
afforded in the American Democracy. When a people fail to exercise this
freedom, they have no power.
The CBCF encourages civic participation through an interactive, community-based
learning experience on voting rights, income security and parental advocacy
for child educational achievement. The initiative targets cities with
a sizable population of African Americans. District Level Forums
provide an opportunity for national and local leaders to converge and
discuss important policy issues with community residents.
Supported by the FORD Foundation, DLFs feature:
-
Basic civic participation instruction for adults and
emerging leaders seeking to become more knowledgeable about the policy
process; and
-
Access to experts who have a deep understanding about
civic participation in the areas of income security, parenting and
voting rights.
