Sankofa focuses on issues of injustice that disproportionately affect the disenfranchised, the oppressed, and the underserved, which left unaddressed will continue to impact the lives of too many individuals and remain a scar on our nation’s moral character.If you are concerned about the social justice issues that affect the lives of disempowered millions, we ask you to contribute to Sankofa.org. If you are an artist, musician, or performer, you can help support Sankofa by contributing your talents. To learn more or donate, contact us at [email protected].
Some of the key issues we are currently addressing include: the systemic violence that has poisoned our society and is being reinforced by legislation such as Stand Your Ground, rampant over-incarceration rates including the cradle-to-prison pipeline and an unequal justice system; income disparity, where wealth is concentrated at the top and the earnings gap between has only grown more pronounced since the 1960’s.
