The Bloc has teamed up with the
ABC's of Survival— the book that shouldn't exist; designed to be torn apart. It is a dual purpose book to support mental health and change laws.
The Problem:
Surviving is a daily struggle for people of color in the US, who routinely face inequity in healthcare, pay, and interactions with law enforcement. Black parents need to have "the talk" with their children, not about the simple parts of growing up, but about how to stay alive. These inequities place a heavy physical and mental burden on anyone Black in America—especially children.
