A United  Black Front

North Carolina's Black Leadership and Organizing Collective started in 2015 to answer a question, what do we need as Black led organizations to build a collective strategy that shifts governing power in North Carolina.

Since that time NC BLOC has been working on building a statewide infrastructure to support the exiting work of Black Led organizations and formations who serve and are grounded in local Black communities.

Our mission is to build a network of strong, publicly-active Black-led organizations and formations who work effectively together to win policy changes that improve the quality of life in black communities.
