Resilient Bladen (NC)
Economic stability is family stability. Leaders like A. Philip Randolph and Fannie Lou Hamer fought tirelessly for economic empowerment, advocating for better wages, fair housing, and equal opportunities for Black families. Their work laid the foundation for policies that strengthen household financial stability—a proven way to reduce risk factors for child abuse and neglect.
At Positive Childhood Alliance NC, we know that economic support is essential for children’s well-being. When families have access to stable employment, fair wages, and critical resources like child tax credits and paid family leave, they are better able to provide their children with what they need to live purposeful lives, filled with positive experiences and endless hope for the future.
This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor the legacy of leaders who fought for economic justice and continue advocating for policies that strengthen families and create a more equitable future for all—especially those who have been left behind.
