Overview

The African American Policy Forum (AAPF) is a social justice think tank that addresses structural inequality and systemic oppression through a lens of intersectionality, focusing on issues of gender, race, class, and diversity. Founded by Kimberlé Crenshaw, a prominent civil rights activist and law professor, AAPF has published influential reports such as 'Say Her Name: Resisting Police Brutality against Black Women', which highlights the often-overlooked experiences of Black women victims of police brutality. By collaborating with organizations like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), AAPF works to promote frameworks and strategies for achieving racial justice and empowering marginalized communities.
