What is Project 2030?
Project 2030: The Agenda for Black America
Project 2030: The Agenda for Black America is a national blueprint for progress—built to close racial gaps and strengthen Black communities by the year 2030. Rooted in six pillars—Economic Equity, Educational Equity, Health Equity, Criminal Justice Reform, Political Empowerment, and Technological Equity—it transforms research into action.
More than a book, Project 2030 is a movement to rebuild power, ownership, and opportunity across Black America through data-driven policy, civic engagement, and collective accountability. It challenges us not to wait for change, but to build it—block by block, vote by vote, generation by generation.
THE
TIME IS NOW
PROJECT 2030 BEGINS WITH YOU
political
empowerment:
Power To tHe People
This chapter calls for transforming voting power into governing power. Project 2030 empowers Black communities to build political pipelines, shape policy, and lead from the ballot box to the boardroom—ensuring our collective voice directs the laws, budgets, and futures that impact our lives.
economic equity
This chapter focuses on building generational wealth through ownership, entrepreneurship, and fair access to capital. Project 2030 outlines strategies to close the racial wealth gap, expand Black-owned businesses, and strengthen community investment—creating a self-sustaining economic ecosystem where prosperity is shared, not scarce.
Health Equity
This chapter confronts the disparities that shorten Black lives and limit wellness. Project 2030 advances a vision of holistic health—mental, physical, and environmental—by expanding access to care, ending medical bias, promoting healthy living, and investing in community clinics that make wellness a right, not a privilege.
Educational Equity
This chapter demands a transformation of the education system to unlock Black excellence at every level. Project 2030 advocates for equitable funding, culturally relevant curricula, stronger HBCU partnerships, and community-based learning hubs—ensuring every child has the resources, mentorship, and opportunity to reach their full potential.
Criminal Justice REform
This chapter reimagines justice through accountability, rehabilitation, and restoration—not mass incarceration. Project 2030 calls for ending discriminatory policing, investing in reentry programs, and building pathways from school to opportunity instead of prison—creating a system that protects, heals, and uplifts Black lives.
WHY PROJECT 2030 MATTERS TO YOU
Project 2030 matters because it is more than a book — it is a call to action. It’s a blueprint for transformation that directly impacts your neighborhood, your schools, your paycheck, and your children’s future. At its core, Project 2030 is about reclaiming agency — ensuring that Black communities are not simply reacting to policies written elsewhere, but designing, implementing, and tracking the progress of our own agenda. It’s about measurable change: raising Black homeownership, closing the wealth gap, reforming our justice system, and guaranteeing equal access to health care, education, and technology. Every policy, partnership, and pillar of Project 2030 connects back to one purpose — building the legacy of opportunity and empowerment that our ancestors envisioned but could not yet realize .
But Project 2030 also matters because it is about legacy — the kind that outlives us. It invites you to take part in shaping a living movement of accountability, where every person has a role in constructing a more equitable future. Whether you are a parent, student, entrepreneur, educator, or activist, the six pillars of this agenda — Economic Empowerment, Educational Equity, Health Justice, Criminal Justice Reform, Political Empowerment, and Technological Equity — provide a framework to act now and sustain progress for generations to come. Project 2030 begins with you, because the future our ancestors dreamed of is no longer a dream — it’s our responsibility to build it .
