The state of Alabama has banned elective abortion rights. This is a law that will have generational impact on women of color and the poor. Congress must act.

41% of black businesses were decimated by the pandemic. Even more were locked out from accessing resources to help start and grow their businesses. The Urban League has been selected by the SBA as a community navigator to help unlock those resources. Proud of this partnership

At any given moment we have two options: step forward in faith and growth or step backwards in hopes of safety. Your choice.

@RepMoBrooks It’s claims like this that stoked the fire of hatred and division. Your unwavering dedication to lies and over forceful tone to advance your political view is despicable.

The mayhem on Capital Hill must be swiftly handled. The President of the United States has incited violence and endangered thousands of lives. He must be stopped now.

I can only imagine the conflicting feelings my friends who attend COTH are experiencing. I’m glad to know that a few aren’t accepting this and moving on with business as usual. Our community’s state of emergency has NO room to support those who stand against our interest.

The Urban League is passionate about impacting the lives of residents. That’s why we are creating Opportunity Centers in the city of Birmingham to provide workforce/secondary education preparedness, academic enrichment for middle & high school students, among other services.

One of my favorite things about being a public figure is the chance to go out into the community and really make a difference

Your vote can help the cause, let's change the conversation

[National Urban League @NatUrbanLeague]

American #voters will be more diverse in the #2020Election than they were in 2000. But they also face major roadblocks at the #voting booth.

We break it all down in our newly-released #StateOfBlackAmerica report 👉🏾: https://t.co/oKI5EAvJvy. #Getting2Equal

[William A. Barnes @William__Barnes]

We should be holding these companies accountable and push them to do better!

I am proud of the Birmingham Urban League and honored to serve as its President and CEO, I’m committed to working hard to continue the same high level of service BUL has been providing for nearly 50 years.

Black voters want 2020 candidates to talk about the economy. At the Black Economic Alliance Forum, they did just that.
