Welcome, We Want to Hear From You!
Who We Are:
We are the Corporate Equity and Inclusion Roundtable (a project of the Black Political Empowerment Project "B-PEP") and the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work's Center on Race and Social Problems.
​
What We Are Doing:
Surveying Black Pittsburghers, past and present to give us a better understanding of our strengths, weaknesses, and other factors that are causing some of us to stay in the region, while others leave.
When/Project Timeline:
The public launch of our survey is December 2, 2024, we will accept responses until March 31, 2025. Results of our research will be shared in 2025.
​​
Why This Project:
We are transforming your experiences (as shared in the survey) into data on the Black experience in Pittsburgh. This data will be used to make reports and recommendations on how to improve conditions for the Black community and reverse our population loss.
​
How:
With the expert researchers at CRSP, community leaders of CEIR, and your help by taking and passing along the survey, we're on our way!
More Information on The Black Pittsburgh Satisfaction and Retention Survey:
The Center on Race and Social Problems (CRSP) and Corporate Equity and Inclusion Roundtable (CEIR) are spearheading a critical research project aimed at advancing social justice and promoting economic growth in the City of Pittsburgh and the region by addressing the complex issue of our declining Black population.
We are gathering comprehensive data and nuanced insights into the attitudes, experiences, and aspirations of Blacks/African Americans within our community as well as former residents. By understanding why some choose to remain in the region while others opt to leave, addressing everything from employment opportunities to the region's amenities, we can address critical gaps and challenges. Our findings will inform targeted strategies to enhance economic opportunities and foster an inclusive environment for Black Pittsburghers and serve as a valuable resource for community organizers, political leaders, business owners, employers, support service organizations and others.
We hope you will aid us in this commitment by completing this survey, which will take approximately 10-15 minutes and sharing your anonymous experiences with our team. By completing the survey and entering your email address, you will receive a $10 gift card while supplies last.
