African American Leadership Council

The African American Leadership Council (AALC) describes itself as a "group of progressive African American business, labor, and community leaders who represent a wide array of business, labor and community groups nationwide -- all committed to advancing the ideals and values of the Democratic Party and the African American community."

Goals
On its website that AALC states that its three primary goals are:
 * Strengthening the influence of African Americans in the Democratic Party.
 * Supporting the Democratic Party's platform by spreading the word and electing Democrats.
 * Encouraging investment in the DNC and its programs.

These goals are accomplished by:


 * Raising money.
 * Organizing events that raise political awareness, cultivate new members, and provide a venue to discuss issues.
 * Keeping our membership apprised of the political happenings within the Party and the community.
 * Working closely with the DNC's African American Outreach Desk to establish the DNC's plan for involving the community nationwide.
