TakeCharge Purpose:
TakeCharge is an organization committed to supporting the notion that the promise of America works for everyone regardless of race or social station. We believe that we own our future by instilling the idea of taking charge of our lives, our families, and communities.
We acknowledge the country’s past record of systemic racism but reject that notion for racial disparities in the present day.
We educate all Americans that the most significant driver of disparities originated in the late 1960s as a result of social welfare programs that were heavily promoted in minority communities resulting in the destruction of the black family. Since then, we have witnessed the decline of the two-parent black family from 80 percent of the culture to 80 percent fatherless homes – without one national initiative to reverse the trend. This catastrophic decline is the root cause of financial, academic, health and criminal justice disparities generating havoc in communities across America.
We abhor the concept of identity politics and the promotion of victimhood in minority communities – a notion supported by Critical Race Theory or Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ideology.
At TakeCharge, we are building a coalition of community champions, academic professionals, and business leaders to ignite a transformation within the black community by re-establishing traditional Christian ideals and embracing the core principles of America – not rejecting them. These principles are embedded in the belief of hard work, education, faith, family, and free enterprise in the personal pursuit of dreams that can be realized by anyone regardless of race or social standing.
