Our Mission
PushBlack's mission is to inspire Black people to take liberating actions in the best interest of their community.
That means we create compelling media on the richness of Black life and history that inspires people to take actions benefiting Black communities culturally, economically, and politically.
We believe as the community’s understanding of their history and current conditions increases, so will:
- Their desire to take action to improve their conditions, and
- Their trust in PushBlack to connect them with liberating actions.
Once a critical mass of the community consistently takes liberating actions, they will build a liberated world.
Our Vision
PushBlack envisions a world where Black liberation is a reality for all Black people. This means we strive for:
-
The Power
to practice collective self-determination, self-reliance, and self-sufficiency.
-
The Ability
for all Black people to love and value themselves and one another on their own terms.
-
The Control
of the institutions we rely on to participate in society.
-
The Freedom
to exercise collective social, political, and economic autonomy.
-
The Opportunity
for all Black people to live up to their full human potential.
Our Strategy
We are building a mass media network that amplifies Black voices, inspires collective action, and paves
the way for Black Liberation to thrive at a systems-wide level.
Our approach consists of three key objectives:
Pursue Black Liberation by scaling media presence
As we scale our media presence to reach more people across more platforms, we seek to amplify our narrative impact and inspire millions more individuals to address community challenges.
Activate stakeholders toward Black Liberation
Through our compelling storytelling and mobilization efforts, we seek to build voting power, embrace police alternatives and promote other civic and political actions in the best interests of the Black communities.
Model Black Liberation in the workplace
We prioritize exemplifying Black liberation within our own organization and beyond by creating an environment that embraces agency, diversity, and empowerment.
Our Impact
As the #1 trusted media source for millions of Black Americans, we're able to drive massive, unprecedented civic engagement.
