Systemic racism is a public health crisis that tears at our nation’s fabric, limiting white America’s ability to see black men as something other than a threat.

The inequitable treatment of Black men and women by law enforcement and within the healthcare system is no coincidence, it stems from 400 years of devaluing Black life in this country.

Your support fuels our ability to remain in the fight and we are accountable to you, to the 37-year legacy of our organization and to the generations to come who will work to achieve optimal health outcomes for Black women.

NCBW was founded in 1981 in New York City and is a 38 year old advocacy organization whose vision is that black women and girls will live in a world where socio- economic inequity does not exist.

We will continue to work with our valued partners and stakeholders to address the most pressing health issues impacting our nation’s 22 million black women and girls.
