In 2018, the Black Futures Lab conducted the
largest survey of Black people in the United States since
Reconstruction. Over 30,000 Black people from across the country
participated in the inaugural Black Census Project, providing
their views, political beliefs, concerns, and aspirations. four
years later, they have launched the second BLACK CENSUS
PROJECT.
The Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference has partnered
to promote the census: our goal is to get 1,000 signatures by
October so we can do our part to ensure Black voices are
heard!

The Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference has partnered
with the Gilead COMPASS Faith Coordinating Center at Wake
Forest University’s School of Divinity to better understand
faith-inspired inclusive communities and the services they
offer.
They are providing a $25.00 gift card
if you complete a short 15-20 minute survey about your
organization/institution/faith community’s provision of or
willingness to provide educational programming and/or support
services for people vulnerable to or living with
HIV/AIDS.
The purpose of this proposed project is to develop
a dynamic, searchable database of faith based organizations, such
as nonprofit organizations with a faith-based initiative or
mission and faith communities (e.g., church, synagogue, mosque,
temple, etc.) across religious traditions, that minister to
people vulnerable to or living with HIV, to be added to the www.AIDSVu.org Service
Locator.
To complete the survey, we would like individuals aged
18 years and older and affiliated with the organizations
mentioned in the above categories to respond.
**People vulnerable to HIV do not have HIV but may
experience life circumstances that increase their likelihood of
being exposed to the virus.
