There has been great excitement and renewed voter engagement since Vice President Kamala Harris rose to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket on July 21st. And with good reason: Her candidacy not only injected a much-needed dose of optimism into the race; it also revived the possibility that voters will choose a new leader who is forward-looking, capable, and driven by the needs of working-class Americans.

Looking historically at demographics, Black men in America have for centuries been singled out for the most vicious and dehumanizing attacks on their personhood and their manhood.

It is refreshing to see a leader like Vice President Kamala Harris who understands the wide generational gap we have in our nation. There will always be situations where older and younger people maintain different perspectives on life and the nation’s future based on their experiences, opinions, habits, and behavior.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17, CMC – Insufficient attention has been given to the far-reaching actions taken by several small island states, led by Antigua and Barbuda and Tuvalu, to challenge the destruction of their countries by major global polluters.

Education has always been a contentious issue, but as we approach the 2024 elections, it’s become ground zero for broader cultural and political clashes. Book bans targeting diverse and inclusive materials are on the rise, and restrictive gag orders are silencing classroom discussions on critical topics like race, gender, and American history. With the conservative agenda of Project 2025 gaining traction, the threat to both democracy and public education has never been more urgent. In times like these, it’s easy to feel powerless—but, as citizens, we can’t afford to disengage. The fight for our country’s future begins at the local level, particularly with our school boards.

The cause of racial disparities between Black and White Alzheimer's dementia patients has been a long-standing mystery for medical scientists. Now, there appears to be a breakthrough that could lead to the answer as to why older Black people are currently living with and dying from dementia at twice the rate of Whites.

With only four weeks left before voters head to the polls, the public at-large and Black voters in particular are targeted with an unprecedented volume of lies and disinformation. Since Black voters must receive accurate knowledge and information to safeguard our rights, our communities must be equipped with truth and facts.

As we approach this critical election season, a remarkable story unfolds across America. Young Black women are not just registering to vote at unprecedented rates - they're poised to make their voices heard at the ballot box like never before. With a staggering 175% increase in voter registration according to recent data from TargetSmart, this surge is not just a statistic; it's a powerful statement about the future of our democracy and a continuation of Black women's longstanding commitment to civic engagement.

Both the Harris and Trump campaigns must understand that diverse cannabis voters are looking for a President who supports legalization with equity. A diverse cannabis industry built on fairness can generate wealth and help address the harms caused by past policies. The industry also offers opportunities in AgTech, clean energy, and cannabis tourism, which can drive growth in key states. In anew poll released on August 31 by Ragnar Research, undecided voters in key swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin strongly support marijuana reform, with 84% of respondents favoring medical cannabis and 62% backing broader adult-use legalization.

The question has been asked from time immemorial, what is more important, beauty or brains? What do you place more value on, looking good or having an education, having a dunce pretty baby or one who is an ugly genius?

As Vice President Harris and Governor Walz lay out their economic plan to America, Donald Trump’s economic agenda has failed our country at every turn. Under Trump, Black unemployment skyrocketed, and Black small businesses were left to suffer during the pandemic.

WASHINGTON, Sep. 26, CMC – As the Middle East plunges deeper into conflict, the weakness of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), the body charged with maintaining international peace and security, is being starkly exposed. Entrusted with the “primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security,” the UNSC has been paralyzed by the veto power wielded by each of its five permanent members, who often prioritize national interests and alliances over collective global responsibility.
