Census 2020
Our participation in the census has many benefits including but not limited to the services we receive, financial resources, economic investments, funding for our school districts, education funding, affordable housing, small business incentives, political representation and much more. The next 10 years of our lives will be shaped by the 2020 Census.
Mutual Aid
We understand that these are hard times. However, as a community, we can help each other get through this. The Black Collective has created The Collective Mutual Aid Fund to offer stipends to families and individuals in need.

2020 general Election Voter Guide
As we head to the polls, this is our opportunity to make our voices, concerns, and priorities heard. The Black Collective believes that voting is one of the first steps to engage and increase the visibility of the issues impacting our community. Beyond the elections, we have a responsibility to hold our elected officials accountable to the communities they serve and ensure they are accessible by creating spaces for dialogues and participatory decision-making.
