The Issues: Racial & Economic Justice

Back to All Issues

At CUNTS-PAC, we believe that every individual deserves to live with dignity and respect, regardless of their racial or economic background. Unfortunately, many LGBTQIA+ individuals, particularly those of color, face significant barriers to economic stability and are disproportionately affected by systemic racism. We are committed to advocating for the rights and needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals who are marginalized by racism and economic inequality.

The Challenges Faced by LGBTQIA+ Individuals of Color

LGBTQIA+ individuals of color face numerous challenges, including:

  • Systemic racism and bias in employment, housing, and education
  • Economic instability and poverty
  • Lack of access to healthcare and other essential services
  • Higher rates of incarceration and police brutality

Our Vision for Racial and Economic Justice

We envision a world where every LGBTQIA+ individual, regardless of their racial or economic background, has access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. To achieve this, we advocate for:

  • Policies and programs that address systemic racism and bias
  • Economic empowerment and job training programs for LGBTQIA+ individuals of color
  • Increased access to healthcare and other essential services
  • Reform of the criminal justice system to address police brutality and mass incarceration

What We're Fighting For

We're fighting for a world where:

  • LGBTQIA+ individuals of color have access to the same opportunities and resources as their white counterparts.
  • LGBTQIA+ individuals of color are protected from systemic racism and bias.
  • LGBTQIA+ individuals of color have access to economic empowerment and job training programs.
  • LGBTQIA+ individuals of color are treated with dignity and respect by the criminal justice system.

Join us in the fight for racial and economic justice. Together, we can create a world where every LGBTQIA+ individual, regardless of their racial or economic background, has access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
