	"description": "Advancing Black Strategists Initiative Call to Action The Advancing Black Strategists Initiative (ABSI) is a joint project of the Jobs With Justice Education Fund, the Black Worker Initiative at the Institute for Policy Studies, and Morehouse College. The overarching vision is to create a cohort of Black economic-justice and labor-focused strategists committed to leading, developing, and advancing policies and campaigns that support the collective power-building of working people, particularly in the South. Right now, more than ever, we must protect and defend Black workers in our Country. Black people are at the center of the three most significant events to impact the U.S. in the last one hundred years: A global pandemic: COVID-19 is having a disproportionate impact on every aspect of Black people’s lives: infections, mortality, job loss, and economic insecurity. An economic depression: Furthermore, because of systematic occupational segregation, the economic shutdown and inadequate relief has only left black workers further behind.   Urban rebellions: the extrajudicial killings of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade and George Floyd have sparked a Black-led multiracial rebellion across our Nation.   Since 2016 a group of Black labor leaders, scholars, and policymakers from across the nation have come together to create ABSI. We are committed to combatting white supremacy, advancing Black leadership, strengthening Black institutions, and expanding economic democracy. Throughout this country’s history, Black people have played a central role in shaping politics and society. COVID-19 delayed our March launch at Morehouse College but, the time is critical. Therefore, we are issuing this national CALL TO ACTION: Join our 15 July strategy session: bring your ideas for COVID recovery, black liberation, local campaign stories, strategy ideas, and policy proposals. Connect with local and national leaders Join our network Look for our position announcements Donate to ASBI Save the date: 03 September – ASBI official launch with Morehouse College This school of thought is anchored in the principle that working people’s ability to organize and collectively bargain, alongside voting and other forms of civic participation, is a prerequisite for a healthy society and economy. ABSI is uniquely situated to develop this school of thought due to its anchoring location in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Morehouse College International Comparative Labor Studies Department. Through a network of visiting scholars, movement fellows, research workshops, intern placements, and more, ABSI will help to produce the Black strategists required in this uncertain time.  ",
