Caring for Ourselves & Our Neighbors
The 46205, 46208, and 46218 zip codes (surrounding Broadway) have a high rate of infant mortality. Several of our neighbors have also been impacted by Black Maternal Childbirth Death which is devastating to families and communities.

Ending the
HIV Epidemic
The CDC and Health & Human Services have set goals of 75% reduction in HIV transmission by 2025 and 90% by 2030. These are bold goals especially for our community.
Marion County is one of 48 counties identified as a hotspot for HIV. From the beginning, the Black community has not received the same attention to combat the incidence and prevalence of HIV/AIDS, and continues to experience a disproportionate impact today. In the Indianapolis TGA in 2021, 48.8% of new HIV diagnoses were African American (and another 10.1% are Latinx).
Because we love and care for our neighbors we are working hard to develop new leaders who will provide energy, creativity, and vision so that together we can End the HIV Epidemic.
