2014 Urban League of Philadelphia Annual Report 2 PROGRAM OVERVIEWS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

For nearly 100 years, the Urban League of Philadelphia has stood in unwavering dedication to empowering African Americans through education, employment, entrepreneurship, and advocacy. This mission is as necessary today as ever, as our community grapples with the after-effects of an economic downturn that caused returns to the nest, compromised incomes, continuous layoffs, and elusive home ownership. Equitable access for African Americans in particular remains an uphill climb for even the most educated and trained.

As a vital and well-connected bridge to possibility, the ULP is a part of the 21st century transformation in which the entire Greater Philadelphia region is engaged. As such it is our responsibility to ensure that new opportunities are abound for the varying segments of our broader community. ULP is about the business of empowerment and we are joined in these effort by our donors, corporate partners, and stakeholders all of whom recognize the power of diversity in the global economy. If the region is to realize its vision of becoming truly world class, then the Urban League of Philadelphia is prepared to be play its role in attaining that vision.

ADVOCACY AND POLICY

The challenges faced by our constituents in the 21st century differ in many ways from those we battled at our founding in 1917; “It is our responsibility to however, generations of oppression, exclusion and marginalization ensure that new opportunities continue to have an adverse impact on our community, even are abound for the varying with substantial gains. The racial divide is evident in the news headlines that feature abominable conditions in our schools and segments of our broader the continued concerns about safety for our youth. community.” The ULP is a regional advocate and works with fervor to advance causes and strategies that impact voter engagement, Black male achievement, healthcare access, education reform, and more.

The harsh financial aftermath of “The Great Recession” has largely erased hard-won economic gains made by African American families over the last two generations. While we are encouraged by reports that Philadelphia has recovered 120 percent of all jobs lost in the downturn, local unemployment continues to lag behind both the national and Commonwealth averages. In addition, nearly one out of five black and Latino workers are under- employed, according to the National Urban League’s recently released 2014 State of Black America report.
