NAACP President & CEO: "Debt Ceiling Bill Misses the Mark for Black America"-June 2, 2023

The Senate passed legislation that will raise the debt ceiling and avoid a cataclysmic default, yet have a disproportionately negative impact on Black America. 

"This debt ceiling bill will ensure the country avoids defaulting on our financial obligations but it reflects misplaced priorities. Conservative legislators have once again prioritized corporations and wealthy individuals."

NAACP Condemns Ruling Rejecting Student Debt Cancellation

 JUNE 30, 2023

 "The Supreme Court's decision to strike down the President's student debt program is a clear disregard for what millions of Americans need - especially Black Americans. Despite today's upsetting ruling, we demand that the Biden Administration delivers on the promise of student loan debt relief. 

   Education has long been regarded as a path toward generational wealth, economic liberation, and securing the American dream. Let's be clear - student debt is killing that dream. The NAACP will not stop until student debt relief becomes a reality.  

NAACP Calls on Biden Administration to Cancel Student Debt

The student debt crisis has a disproportionate impact on Black borrowers and their families. Across all racial groups, Black borrowers hold the most student loan debt despite also being consistently underserved by post- secondary institutions. 

To appreciate the racial wealth gap, it is first important to understand the disparity in important federal policies that helped create the current gaps in college degree attainment. 

Read the report: Student Debt and Racial Equity.

We must continue to apply pressure and demand that the leaders elected by the movement we built make due on racial equity and ensure equitable and affordable pathways for education.

The Committee on Economic Development

The Committee on Economic Development seeks to implement local efforts and support national programs to preserve and expand economic empowerment among African-Americans and other communities of color by. (1) researching and establishing relationships with private and public entities; (2) supporting the work of the National NAACP Office in monitoring the progress and activity of private and public economic development entities designated by national NAACP programs; (3) implementing local efforts to promote the growth of business ownership; (4) increasing employment and job creation; and (5) encouraging business development and home ownership. 

 THE BLACK PROGRESS INDEX: IMPROVING ECONOMIC MOBILITY WITH DATA

Improving life outcomes among Black people demands research and tools that recognize and measure Black progress in a way that reflects the intersectional nature of our lived experience. NAACP and Brookings have partnered on The Black Progress Index, a new analysis of the places where Black people are thriving most, as measured through their life expectancy. The Index supports a greater understanding of the well-being of Black people and the conditions that surround their lives.

“The Philadelphia Negro,”

In the spirit of NAACP Co-Founder W.E.B. Du Bois' novel  “The Philadelphia Negro,” data is used to identify racial inequity, the Black Progress Index focuses on life expectancy and the "social determinants of health" — such as homeownership rate, education attainment, business ownership rate, and air pollution — to help provide insight into the local civic actions that can improve life expectancy outcomes.

Community organizers, elected officials, and researchers can use the interactive dashboard in their work to examine the impact of social and neighborhood conditions in their city and others across the country.
