July marks National Black Family Month, a time to honor the resilience, strength, and rich cultural heritage of Black families. Established in 2006, this month promotes education, health, and self-improvement while fostering deeper connections and support within the community. As we celebrate, we must also recognize the systemic challenges Black families face, including economic disparities, housing discrimination, systemic racism, and unconscious biases. Addressing these issues is essential for building a just and equitable society. Black families often encounter under-resourced schools, employment discrimination, and persistent wage gaps. Housing discrimination, rooted in historical redlining policies, continues to impact access to quality housing and healthcare. These challenges highlight the urgent need for collective action and systemic change. At Silicon Valley Community Foundation, we are committed to advocating for policies that reduce education gaps, combat employment discrimination, and ensure access to quality healthcare and housing. We believe that supporting Black families in their journey towards equality strengthens our entire community. In honor of National Black Family Month, we encourage you to support the California Black Freedom Fund, an initiative dedicated to securing, protecting, and advancing the rights of Black communities across California. Your support can help amplify efforts to dismantle systemic barriers and promote economic and social equity for Black families. ➡ https://lnkd.in/dQMfngk #BlackFamilyMonth #EconomicDisparities #HousingDiscrimination #SystemicRacism #UnconsciousBiases

Recent years have put an acute focus on racial disparities across America. However, inequities reported at the national level often fail to capture what’s happening in specific communities – whether they are stories of progress, stagnation, or even regression. New research from our sister institute, the McKinsey Institute for Black Economic Mobility explores differences in the economic, social, and physical well-being of Black residents across the US based on the type of community in which they live. It also discusses interventions across community profiles that could benefit all U.S. residents while setting the stage for more meaningful progress toward racial parity for Black Americans over the longer term. Mapping equity gaps at the local level offers insight into how equity outcomes for Black residents vary across different communities in the US, while suggesting a new way for investors, companies, philanthropies, and public-sector leaders to prioritize where and how best to act to address racial disparities.
