Black Action Town Hall: Get Involved, Get Organized
At the Black Action Town Hall, you'll learn:
What the National Black Action Convention is, and why it matters for our community's future
How you can get involved as a delegate, a volunteer, or an organizer in your own neighborhood
Why building our own institutions, free from systems shaped by structural racism, is essential to real, lasting self-determination
How local organizing connects directly to national political and economic power
This isn't a lecture, it's a conversation. We'll open the floor for a live Q&A, so bring your questions, your concerns, and your ideas. Whether you're a longtime organizer or showing up for the first time, your voice belongs in this room.
Black political and economic power isn't something we wait for. It's something we build together, deliberately, and on our own terms. Come be part of it.

The Purpose of the National Black Action Convention
Political Action Plan
We have a detailed action plan that delegates from across the United States will vote to ratify. Any changes made to this action plan will be proposed and voted on at the national convention.
Summary:
This plan proposes forming a Black-led political party with one defining purpose: to build and reform public institutions so that they deliver equal outcomes and are free of systemic racism.
The goal: within 10 years, the party holds enough elected offices, and enough negotiating leverage, to enact and enforce institutional reforms at the local, state, and federal levels.
Economic Action Plan
We have a detailed action plan that delegates from across the United States will vote to ratify. Any changes made to this action plan will be proposed and voted on at the national convention.
Summary:
Our political agenda rests on two principles: democratic governance and institutional self-determination. We govern ourselves by building, owning, and running our own institutions. But self-determination cannot exist without resources. An institution that depends on outside money answers to outside interests.
So this plan begins with one question: what can we build with the income, talent, and numbers we already have?
Group Economics is key.
Community Building
Family, the National Black Action Convention in Chicago is where rebuilding begins. Before we can own banks, build schools, or elect our own leaders, we have to be in community with each other again, sitting in the same room, making decisions together, and committing to something larger than any one of us.
The economic plan and the political plan are only blueprints. What brings them to life is us: our churches, our families, our organizations, and our neighborhoods choosing to move as one.
We have the income, the talent, and the numbers, but numbers only become power when they are united. Our unity is our power, and Chicago is where we start using it. Show up, speak up, and bring someone with you.
