"Congress must pass the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA) in order to prevent a cataclysmic default that would disproportionately harm Black communities. At the same time, it is critical that Congress reject specific provisions before final passage. The FRA would end the student loan payment pause, which provides a vital economic stimulus to millions of students. Black women bear the highest comparative levels of student debt relief because they invest in education at a significant cost. They also pay taxes. To argue, therefore, that the current student debt relief is a giveaway from taxpayers is to use a racist talking point.
Innovation and growth require nimble strategies. With a focus on innovation and impact, we embrace a bold new vision for our next chapter.
We are launching C-HOPE, our new Centers of Innovation:
- Center for Health Equity;
- Center for Opportunity, Race, and Justice;
- Center for Education Innovation; and
- Center for Environmental and Climate Justice.
Each Center brings together NAACP experts: issue-area leads, policy, lobbyists, communications, researchers, and state advocates to implement our ambitious goals.
Learn more about each Center, our advocacy model, and how this will guide the NAACP's work moving forward.
