The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies is a research and policy analysis institution focused exclusively on issues of particular concern to African Americans andother people of color. Founded in 1970 as a resource for newly-elected black public officials, it has evolved into a more comprehensive think tank focused on issues related to African American political participation, health disparities, economic empowerment, media and technology, and governance and civic engagement. It disseminates its analyses largely through publications and forums. It also is the convener of the National Policy Alliance, an alliance of all nine of the organizations that represent black public officials at every level of government. These include:
