School-to-Prison Pipeline
The school-to-prison pipeline describes the conveyer belt from our nation’s schools to our nation’s prisons. The “pipeline” predominantly targets youth of color–both girls and boys–targeting them from their entry into public schools until their exit.

Past Projects
Structural Racism
Structural Racism is the concept that explains how structural inequalities premised on race are created and maintained over time. As the leading race and gender equity think tank in the Untied States, much of AAPF’s work centers on finding ways to better articulate the historical and cultural origins of structural racism as well as identifying key ways to combat it.
Ongoing Projects
- (Un)Equal Opportunity Race–The Board Game

Intersectionality
Intersectionality is a concept that enables us to recognize the fact that perceived group membership can make people vulnerable to various forms of bias, yet because we are simultaneously members of many groups, our complex identities can shape the specific way we each experience that bias.

Affirmative Action
AAPF is one of the leading organizations in the field of race and gender equality. More than exposing the issues at stake, AAPF founders and staff spend a lot of time thinking, creating, and testing new visuals, metaphors, and tools that will help the general audience to understand what affirmative action really is and why it is so important, both domestically and internationally.
