Happy Holidays From ILAACP
After introducing myself to a new acquaintance, and informing her or him that I serve as the executive director for the Illinois African American Coalition for Prevention, the immediate next question is “Prevention of what?”
It never fails. And, it’s a fair question when considering the myriad social and health disparities negatively impacting African-American communities. We also know from speaking with our supporters and board members, I’m not the only one who gets asked this very important question.
While we’re confident that our answers to this question communicate our vision and mission work, I know that our brief interactions and conversations don’t afford us a sufficient amount of time to make the connection for some folks.
So…we wanted to take a moment to show you a video which we believe helps people better understand how our work is creating safe, healthy, and resilient African-American children, families, and communities. If you already know who we are this is a great reminder of the important work we do. If you are new to the ILAACP, this is a great introduction to the important work we do.
We had originally planned to debut this video tomorrow at our annual fundraiser, Harambee. As you may know, the event was unfortunately cancelled. We can’t make up for what would have been a fantastic night. But, as a small token of our appreciation for the support you have shown us, we wanted to make sure you were one of the first to view it.
Enjoy and Share!
