OUR MISSION

The Douglass Wells Project, a pro-democracy advocacy group formed by C. B. Productions, fights for the basic rights of people of color. Built upon the guiding principles and accomplishments of two luminary civil rights activists, Frederick Douglass and Ida B. Wells, the project has undertaken the following mission:

    • To hold elected officials accountable for policy decisions that significantly affect the lives of citizens of color
  •  
    • To inform people of color on issues that shape outcomes in their lives in areas such as the arts, economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, and religion
  •  
    • To recognize, acknowledge, and pay tribute to people of color, living or dead, who made significant contributions and gave their lives in service to society
  •  

OUR VISION

"I'm not going to die; I'm going home like a shooting star."

Sojourner Truth

Our goal is to embrace Sojourner’s strength and character to achieve our vision, and we will do so by:

    • Advocating for the values of people of color
    • Telling counter narratives to sources that do not have the interest and needs of people of color in mind
    • Informing people to stand up and speak out for voting rights
    • Speaking truth to power

JOIN THE DOUGLASS WELLS PROJECT

There is no time for complacency.

There is no time for living room activism. Every day must be spent asking ourselves if we’re doing our part, if we’re doing enough to ensure that the grand idea called America continues.

Thank you for joining us in this fight.
