The Greater Washington Urban League (“GWUL” or “the League”) envisions a DC Metro Area inclusive of flourishing, multigenerational, Black communities with members thriving unimpeded and unharmed by structural racism and violence. Thus, the League is on a mission to increase the monetary and political wellness and power of historically disenfranchised and economically excluded Black and other populations of color. GWUL concurrently works to advance racial equity as a mechanism to achieve equality while also driving the acceleration of self-reliance and political parity. Our work serves as an antidote to psychological oppression, structural barriers, lost wealth, and community displacement.
