WORK WITH US
Utilizing new ideas and innovative perspectives to transform public discourse and policy, the African American Policy Forum (AAPF) promotes frameworks and strategies that reflect a vision of racial justice that embraces the intersections of race, gender, class, and other barriers that continue to disempower marginalized communities.
We are dedicated to advancing and expanding racial justice and gender equality and to defending the indivisibility of all human rights while empowering the next generation to expand democracy, both in the United States and internationally.
Why AAPF
AAPF is an essential intellectual hub for social and racial justice movements. We are the movement home for intersectionality and Critical Race Theory. With our 25-year history of scholarship, activism, and grassroots organizing, we are a go-to source for research, message clarity, and movement strategy. Our ongoing research programs provide the foundation for all of our work, enabling us to apply the insights of intersectionality to respond to current conditions, to anticipate future conflicts, and to play a significant role in shaping the discourses surrounding them.
