Economics: Realizing African Americans hold more jobs in the public sector than they do in the private sector,

it is continuing to bring down unemployment in the African American community. SNCC emphasizes wealth creation, job training, job development, and community assets that insure benefits to all in a racially inclusive manner. Electoral Politics: he number of people who are ineligible to vote is growing because of voter identification laws, shortening the early voting period, !rd party registration restrictions, gerrymandering and redistricting right before elections, these laws and practices are e"ually racist, but more subtle than the more obvious practices such as grandfather clauses, literacy tests, and poll ta#es. SNCC encourages the repeal of all voter disenfranchisement laws and moves toward creating out own political party if the current political policies do not want to attac$ the issues facing blac$ people. Justice% one of the major reasons for the inverse correlation of crime rates and incarceration rates is due to racial profiling conducted by law enforcement and condoned by our government. SNCC condemns the &rison 'ndustrial Comple#, which is the usage of any additional money to go towards the building or e#panding of prisons, and proclaims that we must fight for the restoration of all civil rights for felons. Healthcare: he top three leading causes of death for both American men and women are heart disease, cancer, and stro$e. African American men die on average ( years sooner than white men and African American women die on average of ).( years sooner than whiten women. SNCC would li$e to ma$e it popular to start e#ercising again because this can cut down on heart disease. Cancer forming habits can be bro$en but for the inherited diseases, it should be made affordable for the unfortunate. *ith more people to becoming organ donors, the less e#pensive these surgeries will be. Arts and Entertainment: he image portrayed of African Americans in the media has rarely been a good one, but this is no surprise as we encourage these negative stereotypes by supporting these roles that sheds light on blac$s in a harsh manner. hese lifestyles begin to become reality as they watch television at a rate of (+, more than whites. SNCC has decided to boycott any movies, music, or television simply broadcasting the problems in our community but nor offering a solution. *e understand that education is the sole foundation for success so we have also ta$en steps to have the -oys and .irls Clubs in local communities stay open until midnight. Global Politics: *e "uestion the ability and desire of the /nited States government to guarantee the support of human rights and democracy around the world. 0ur country wears a hypocritical mas$ as it cries to 1preserve freedom in the world2 s"uashing the liberation move that it hides behind. SNCC has always been involved in the struggle for liberation and self3determination so we call upon the military to respond to the re"uest of the government to proceed in the attac$ against Syria. Environment: 4eat waves are projected to increase and leave an effect on inner cities where many African Americans are located such as in New 5or$ City, 6etroit, Chicago, and &hiladelphia. Reducing emissions would save an estimated 7+,+++ African American lives per year by 8+8+. here are many counties where there is a violation of federal pollution standards and 9+ percent of African Americans reside within those areas. SNCC see$s that everyone starts trying to find ways to be more globally cautious, from recycling to driving less. Education: :any "uestion the relevance and importance of 4-C/s but they produce more blac$ bachelors in S ;: per 7+++ blac$ enrolled students, more blac$ male bachelors, and more blac$ female bachelors than all accredited /.S. colleges and universities, and more than all accredited for3profit institutions. Creating more community based scholarships to aid students in completing their education at 4-C/s due to lac$ of funding. SNCC offers and idea for 1&roject 4-C/2. his program will be free to all students enrolled in an 4-C/. he
