• Connecting Black communities across the country to quality experiences in the outdoors together and increase their sense of belonging.

• Ensuring safe spaces for Black people in the outdoors by removing barriers to green spaces and places (e.g. programs, employment, resources for transportation, gear, permits, etc.).

• Promoting culturally responsive policies, programs, protocols, and staff in the outdoors so Black people are acknowledged, valued, and understood in green spaces and places.

• Amplifying the voices of Black people in the outdoors in all sectors (e.g. science, health, education, workforce) to reclaim lost narratives and build new ones.

• Promoting pathways for Black people to meaningfully engage in decisions that impact the Black community by holding positions of leadership and management of land, wildlife, and waterways.

• Identifying collective stewardship opportunities in collaboration with Indigenous peoples’ understanding that we all live on stolen land and Indigenous peoples must engage on how to protect their ancestral land and remove barriers that disproportionately impacted both Black and Indigenous peoples.

• Defending the protection of lands/waterways/wildlife and the communities that depend on them.

• Recognizing the need to protect wildlife and their habitats as part of a healthy human ecosystem, while also supporting lawful and sustainable hunting and fishing practices.

• Working with national, regional, and local leaders to protect America’s lands, wildlife, and waterways, including recreational opportunities and the Black American jobs they support.
