Our Pro-Black Approach to Racial Equity

Cornerstone CDC understands Pro-Black (and being a Pro-Black organization) as an organizational approach that…

•Intends to build the power of Black people by advancing policies, practices, and cultural norms that position Black communities to be self-determined and to thrive.

•Engages our spiritual solution set in which corrective healing can come to places where the evil forces of anti-Black racism have caused harm.

•Recognizes the Black-ness of our community as an asset to celebrate and strong foundation to build upon.

We believe that as we operate as Pro-Black, all people in our neighborhood will have opportunities to thrive.
