Even policies seeking to redress the past are being struck down by the courts, such as consideration of race for college admittance or ensuring equal access to voting. Nevertheless, it is still critical to identify policies that can protect Black children and families from harm and trauma; promote their health, wealth, and access to educational excellence; and preserve their cultural heritage, language institutions, and healthy racial identity.1  \nIn September 2021, the Equity Research Action Coalition, in partnership with the National Black Child Development Institute and POINTS of ACCESS, LLC, collaborated in creating the Black Child National Agenda2 to challenge the negative and stereotypical narrative of Black children, families, and communities and to identify 10 priorities to dismantle structural racism and systemic inequities that get in the way of Black children’s ability to thrive and excel.  \nThe 10 Priorities of the Black Child National Agenda 1. Maintain child tax credits and income supports.  \n2. Address racial disparities in wages and career advancement opportunities.  \n3. Invest in Black-owned and Black-led businesses, organizations, and institutions.  \n4. Expand family and medical leave.  \n5. Expand health insurance.  \n6. Expand universal access to early care and education.  \n7.
