State of Black Arizona
The State of Black Arizona creates a platform for the synthesis of data, demographics, and research that informs the community on the status of African Americans in Arizona. The data is intended to help community leaders and organizations with action planning and decision-making related to the issues and concerns of the state. We believe as a result of this work, the data will compel both the decision-makers and the grassroots community to move towards concerted efforts that provide solutions to improve the lives of all Arizonans.
The Center for the Future of Arizona
The Center for the Future of Arizona is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that brings Arizonans together to create a stronger and brighter future for our state. We listen to Arizonans to learn what matters most to them, share trusted data about how Arizona is doing, bring critical issues to public attention, and work with communities and leaders to solve public problems. Achieving The Arizona We Want is a shared vision of success around what matters most to Arizonans: a world-class education for all, healthy and vibrant communities, rewarding jobs that use all our talents and help our economy thrive, taking care of Arizona’s natural beauty and resources for generations to come, respecting and valuing every individual and championing their success.
