THE COVENANT In Action Book and Tour

THE COVENANT In Action tells just a few of the stories of the wonderful things that Black people have done to advance The Covenant goals. It describes activities that have been instigated by The Covenant and it offers profiles of young Black activists who exemplify the quality of leadership that is emerging from the next generation.

To encourage and increase that capacity, THE COVENANT In Action includes a toolkit to help us systematically take on the issues described in The Covenant, whether that means organizing a campaign to change a law, launching a media campaign to draw attention to racial inequity, or getting lawyers to file a lawsuit to address an injustice. Importantly, the toolkit includes innovative and creative techniques to assist communities in getting started, connecting with one another, and moving Covenant issues into action.
