The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies is a nonprofit, nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization based in Washington, DC that provides compelling and actionable policy solutions to eradicate persistent and evolving barriers to the full freedom of Black people in America. We are the trusted forum for leading experts and scholars to participate in major public policy debates and promote ideas that advance Black communities. We use evidence-based research, analysis, convenings, and strategic communications to support Black communities and a network of allies.

Our work is supported by generous foundations, individuals, and corporations. Their commitment to quality, independent, evidence-based public policy allows us to continue the legacy of America’s Black think tank by offering policy solutions to eradicate persistent and evolving barriers to the full freedom of Black people in America.
