The Village in Action
Micro Report
August 2024 - November 2025
From Vision to Action:
Our First Two Chapters
CARE DC is a Movement
During the Civil Rights Era, Black-founded and Black-led organizations created chapters to move and advance their missions at the grassroots level. CARE DC has embraced this same strategy—meeting people where they are, increasing economic autonomy, and uniting collectively for city-wide impact. Historically, DC’s Consolidated Parent Group demonstrated the power of grassroots, neighborhood chapter-led change in transforming Washington’s segregated schools. This micro report affirms that the strategies of the past remain just as effective today in the fight for racial justice and economic empowerment for Black and Brown students in our public schools.
The Village Must Take Action.
Since launching CARE Anacostia and CARE Brookland, along with our core programs:
Hopes and Dreams,
Educator Advancement Team, and
Power Our Schools
we’ve seen measurable impact and stories of transformation.
We believe small, focused actions lead to transformative results. That’s why we center on the 1%.

Justice in Action: From the Home, to the Block, to the Classroom
Justice starts where we live, grows where we gather, and thrives where our children learn. CARE DC is building this movement from every corner of our community to ensure equity and opportunity for Black and Brown students flourish, with no barriers, for city-wide impact.
