ON THE HORIZON We at NCBA are taking our work to new horizons in 2022. Our intimate engagement with North Carolina’s Black communities has led us to develop new and updated programming to meet the needs that have been shared with us.
Access to Healthcare Program
NCBA will address breastfeeding rates disparities in Eastern North Carolina and coordinate with state and local institutions to support the development of more lactation consultants in Eastern NC.
Midterm Elections
Supporting voters and candidates of color during election time is the heartbeat of our work. 2022 is a very important midterm election. Not only are there important congressional races, but there are also many local races taking place that were rescheduled due to delays in the 2020 Biennial Census. NCBA has a robust Get Out The Vote program that began formation in 2021. Through our HBCU Think Tank, CODE RED Redistricting initiative, and our partnership with Black Voters Matter, we have built an army of trained voting advocates who are ready to support their communities and make their voices heard in November.
New NCBA Podcast
The Carolina Context Podcast is an intergenerational video podcast series that seeks to provide a historical perspective on the challenging issues facing our state today. Each weekly, themed segment will feature leaders from different backgrounds who have worked on the frontlines of change and will join us to build a bridge to understanding systemic issues in the shifting dynamics of power in our state. Hosted by Brad Thompson and Marcus Bass, this hour-long weekly digital digest seeks to enlighten and address the state of North Carolina. The Podcast series will be available on North Carolina Black Alliance platforms. Annual Report FY 21 | 11
