Some of NBJC’s Accomplishments: 

• We launched the Black Facts research initiative, shattering myths and illuminating the actual experiences of Black LGBTQ+/SGL individuals. This first-of-its-kind study, composed solely of Black voices and oversampling of Black LGBTQ+ people, revealed critical insights.
• We held our inaugural Equity Week, bringing together hundreds to push for legislative and executive action on equity and reparative justice. 
• We hosted our 4th annual Audre Lorde Wisdom Awards and James Baldwin Legacy Awards, honoring Black LGBTQ+/SGL elders for their contributions to our community and the world.
• Launched the Teach the Babies podcast exploring the 70th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education and our commitment to educational equity.
• Angeria Paris Van Micheals selected NBJC as her charity of choice as she competed in RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars Season 9. She was crowned the winner of the season, which came with an investment of $230,000. 
• We produced our signature OUT On The Hill, gathering with over 200 community members and honoring Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Congressman Jamaal Bowman, Congresswoman Cori Bush, Candi Castleberry, Earl D. Fowlkes Jr, and Jay Jones with Rustin-Murray Advocates for Justice Awards.

 Advocacy and Action

• Partnered with Candiace Dillard-Basset, Preston Mitchum, and the Working Families Party for the Real Housewives of Politics Drag Brunch & Voter Verification Drive. Of the 500 people who attended, one-third learned they were removed from the voting rolls in their state.
• Nearly 250 people attended a screening of The Lost Holliday, during which CEO Dr. David J. Johns, Jussie Smollet, and Vivica A. Fox had a robust conversation about grief, family, active accomplices, and self-love.
• Collaborated with the Biden-Harris Administration and Congress to:
  • Increase funding for Black and LGBTQ+/SGL mental health providers and research to address the epidemic of youth suicide,
  • Prioritize access to resources and shelters for homeless LGBTQ+ kids rejected and exiled from their families and,
  • Provide FREE PrEP and PEP medications to seniors through Medicare. 

Health and Wellbeing

• We continued our partnership with the Boris L. Henson Foundation, providing free therapy sessions to Black LGBTQ+/SGL youth.

With your continued support, NBJC can achieve even more.

Founded in 2003, NBJC initially sought to address specific sets of challenges facing the Black community–the erasure of Black queer, trans, and gender-expansive people and a political push to define marriage in ways that deny Black LGBGTQ+/SGL people recognition and access to economic, social, political rights.

Having faithfully and successfully fulfilled its original purpose, NBJC has rebranded. Henceforth, the NBJC is the National Black Justice Collective.

NBJC has accepted the charge to lead Black families in strengthening the bonds and bridging the gaps between the movements for racial justice and LGBTQ equality.

NBJC is the nation’s only civil rights organization unapologetically and intentionally dedicated to the empowerment of Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) and same gender loving (SGL) people. Since 2003, NBJC has provided leadership at the intersections of racial equity and LGBTQ/SGL equality—advocating for the unique challenges and needs of the Black LGBTQ/SGL community that are often relegated to the sidelines. We’re thankful for everyone who has invested in radically inclusive social justice whether marching in a protest, helping to educate progressive leaders, or making a contribution to social justice organizations like NBJC. With the support provided by investors in our work this year, we prioritized: Responding to COVID: COVID & HIV Support youth and young adults Thrive Protecting Democracy GOVT & CENSUS.
