POLICY CENTER: WE WORK TO CHANGE LAWS AND CHANGE LIVES. OUR POLICY CENTER CREATES & ADVOCATES FOR POLICY SOLUTIONS IMPACTING HARD-HIT COMMUNITIES & PROMOTING THE BETTERMENT OF IMPACTED CITIZENS. WE CONSULT WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS & ALLIED ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP CHANGE FEDERAL LAWS THAT AFFECT OUR NATION'S LOW-WAGE WORKERS & WELFARE DEPENDENTS, EMPOWERING THEM TO LIVE LIVES OF FREEDOM AND ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE. WE LAUNCHED A COLLABORATIVE STUDY WITH THE CLAREMONT INSTITUTE, "THE STATE OF BLACK AMERICA," EXPLORING THE LATEST SCHOLARSHIP INTO THE CHARACTER, SHAPE, & TENDENCIES OF LIFE IN THE U.S. FOR BLACKS. WE ALSO DEVELOPED VARIOUS POLICY REPORTS ON THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: AN ACTION PLAN TO FIX OUR INNER CITIES; BLACK VOTING BEHAVIOR; DEFENDING RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AND OUR CHRISTIAN FUTURE; INEQUALITY; THE BREAKDOWN OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY; AND FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO INCREASES IN MEDIAN BLACK HOUSEHOLDS' INCOME.

CLERGY CENTER (NATIONAL CLERGY NETWORK): CURE ENGAGES, EDUCATES, AND EQUIPS A NETWORK OF CONSERVATIVE PASTORS THAT SERVE OUR NATION'S AT-RISK, POOR, AND MOST VULNERABLE IN DISTRESSED COMMUNITIES WITH INFORMATION ON CONGRESSIONAL INITIATIVES, PUBLIC POLICY IDEAS, AND CURRENT DEBATES THAT AFFECT THEIR CONGREGATIONS AND COMMUNITIES. THE GOAL IS TO PROVE THAT THE ANSWER TO POVERTY IS FREEDOM, NOT A WELFARE STATE. CURE IS INVESTING IN GROWING OUR CLERGY NETWORK TO GIVE THOSE IN DISTRESSED ZIP CODES A GREATER VOICE AND REPRESENTATIVE CONSTITUENCY IN OUR CAPITAL, AND IN THE HALLS OF GOVERNMENT. GROWING OUR NETWORK WILL ALSO ALLOW US TO INCREASE OUR REACH TO THOSE LIVING IN DISTRESSED ZIP CODES AND URBAN COMMUNITIES, TO DISMANTLE GOVERNMENT DEPENDENCY, AND TO EMPOWER THEM TO HAVE A STRONG VOICE AND A SEAT AT THE TABLE. OUR PASTORS PARTICIPATE IN AN ANNUAL POLICY SUMMIT OF FELLOWSHIP, NETWORKING, AND LEARNING.
