Rich Reaches Out

Social justice nonprofit legal organization working to enrich the lives of individuals and communities by healing people and eradicating systemic health inequities to move this world further toward equity. Rich Reaches Out confronts racism as a public health crisis through policy reform, direct action, education, and advocacy, prioritizing systemic health inequities, child welfare, prostate cancer, uterine health, and sickle cell disease. 

Historically marginalized communities are underserved and under-protected, leaving youth within historically marginalized communities to be the most vulnerable people in this world, followed by Black women, then Black men. The efforts of Rich Reaches Out are dedicated to standing in the gap, supporting the most vulnerable, and creating a world that protects and serves all people effectively and efficiently.

Feed and Lead is a Rich Reaches Out initiative founded in 2021, working to feed our communities and promote servant leadership to create a healthier relationship between people and community.
