THE EQUITY ALLIANCE HAS EXPERIENCED AMAZING HIGHS AND COURAGEOUS BATTLES ALONG THE JOURNEY TO ACHIEVING FIVE THRIVING YEARS OF WINNING VICTORIES FOR OUR COMMUNITIES. THE LAST TWO YEARS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAVE UNMISTAKABLY BEEN THE MOST UNPRECEDENTED TIMES IN ALL OF OUR LIVES. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU WEATHER THE STORMS AND REJOICE IN THE VICTORIES WITH US. THE TRANSFORMATIVE GROWTH AND EVOLUTION WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO EXPERIENCE IS BECAUSE OUR INVESTORS AND EQUITY PARTNERS HAVE WORKED ALONGSIDE US TO ADVOCATE FOR AND DEMAND EQUITY AND BLACK LIBERATION. IN 2021, WE ADDED TO OUR GROWING TEAM TO INCLUDE 11 FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES, 2 PART-TIME EMPLOYEES, AND 27 CONTRACTORS. THIS ENABLED US TO FULLY STAFF OUR ORGANIZING, POLICY, AND COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENTS CREATING AN EMPLOYMENT INCREASE OF 280%. IT ALSO POSITIONED US TO EXPAND OUR STATEWIDE ALLIANCE TO INCLUDE CHATTANOOGA AND MEMPHIS CHAPTERS. BEYOND EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS, WE HIRED AND PAID CANVASSERS WHO SERVED AS OUR LOCAL PRESENCE AND FOSTERED RELATIONSHIPS WITH EVERYDAY BLACK TENNESSEANS TO ENGAGE IN OUR MOVEMENT. WE LAUNCHED OUR SIGNATURE CIVIC LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, LIBERTEA COLLECTIVE, GRADUATING MORE THAN 100 LIBERATORS FROM THREE COHORTS. WE LAUNCHED OUR INAUGURAL 2021-2024 STRATEGIC PLAN: THE BLACKPRINT, WHICH WILL ENCOMPASS A BOLD REPARATIONS POLICY AGENDA TO DEMAND DEMOCRACY, GROWTH, AND POWER FOR BLACK TENNESSEANS. THIS INITIATIVE KICKED OFF IN AUGUST 2021 WITH THE BLACKPRINT SURVEY TO POLL BLACK TENNESSEANS ACROSS THE STATE ON SIX CRITICAL ISSUES THAT IMPACT BLACK PEOPLE. WE COLLECTED OVER 6,500 RESPONSES TO BE USED AS A DIVERSE, YET UNIFIED REPRESENTATION OF VOICES THAT WILL INFLUENCE POLICY TRANSFORMATION IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE RESULTS WILL BE INSTRUMENTAL DURING THE 2022 MIDTERM ELECTION CYCLE, 2023 POLICY ADVOCACY AND OUR ABILITY TO CHAMPION THE VALUES AND INTERESTS OF BLACK TENNESSEANS IN EVERY REGION TO STATE LEGISLATORS FOR YEARS TO COME.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2021 – Dec 31, 2021Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$829.2K
