Our Mission
The Chicago Urban League works to foster economic empowerment, cultivate leadership, and dismantle systemic barriers in the effort to drive lasting equity and prosperity for Black Chicago.
Research & Policy Center
The Chicago Urban League's Research & Policy Center provides research, landscape analyses and pragmatic, evidence-based recommendations for issues that disproportionately affect African Americans in Chicago. We also partner with policymakers and other organizations to support educational and legislative efforts designed to lessen the impact of policies and practices that disadvantage African Americans.
