The Official

ADOS AF FL State Chapter

The ADOS AF Florida Chapter exists to empower and advance the lineage of Black Americans, descendants of U.S. chattel slavery, whose labor and achievements built the foundation of this nation. It is our mission to educate the public, engage voters, and collaborate with community leaders and policymakers to dismantle systemic inequities that perpetuate generational poverty and exclusion.

We affirm the right of ADOS to be prioritized in restorative policies—including reparations, targeted economic investment, and equal access to housing, education, healthcare, and employment—while strengthening statewide efforts in support of the national movement for reparations and justice.

Historical Discrimination & Redlining

In 2015–2016, predominantly ADOS neighborhoods in Jacksonville averaged only about 4 conventional mortgages per 1k housing units—indicating severely limited access to traditional mortgage financing.
