Center for Urban Renewal and Education

Center for Urban Renewal and Education Working to heal urban communities by advocating for policies that give people freedom to flourish.

CURE's mission is to address issues of culture, race and poverty from a Judeo-Christian conservative perspective. To do this, CURE builds awareness that a conservative agenda of traditional values, limited government and free markets is of the greatest marginal benefit to low-income Americans. CURE works in the media, on Capitol Hill and in poor communities to promote social policy that protects u

nborn life; and market-based public policy that transitions poor Americans from government dependency to economic independence. About Star Parker
Star Parker is one of the names on the short list mentioned when anyone speaks of national black conservative leaders. Star Parker is the founder and president of Urban CURE, a public policy think tank that promotes market-based solutions to fight poverty. Before involvement in social activism, Star had seven years of first-hand experience in the grip of welfare dependency. After consulting on federal Welfare Reform in the mid-90s, she founded Urban Cure to bring new ideas to policy discussions on how to transition America's poor from government dependency.

Sad to hear of the passing of Robert L. Woodson Sr. at age 89.
Ken Blackwell worked closely with him for over 50 years on community empowerment and civil rights. Woodson was a true champion of self-reliance, neighborhood solutions, and rejecting the 1619 Project narrative. He believed America is perfectible, not defined by its worst chapters.
Rest in peace.

As the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, we proudly join seventy-seven fellow organizations in a coalition letter sent today to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.

We urge the Department of Justice to reverse its prior stance and stand firmly with pro-life states as they seek to protect women and unborn children from the unchecked dangers of mail-order abortion drugs. These policies have left thousands of pills shipped daily with little to no medical oversight, rendering state laws nearly powerless and exposing mothers — particularly in communities long burdened by abortion’s heavy toll — to coercion, regret, and harm.

One young woman, Rosalie Markezich, testified that without the ease of mail-order abortion, she would be raising her child today. Her story reminds us that true justice and renewal begin with accountability, not convenience that endangers the most vulnerable.

In urban America, where every lost life compounds generational grief, we affirm that every child is worthy of protection and every mother deserves genuine care — not the illusion of autonomy through unregulated distribution.

The rule of law and the moral demand of human dignity require the DOJ to support these states without hesitation.

Welcome to CURE America with Donald T. Eason—taped live at the 2025 CURE National Clergy Summit in Washington, D.C., at the iconic Willard Hotel.
Janice Rogers Brown—from segregated Alabama to California Supreme Court and D.C. Circuit (confirmed 56–43)—retired in 2017 as a Bradley Prize originalist. Her 2024 essay “Bread and Stones” blasts the 1873 Slaughter-House decision for gutting the 14th Amendment.
No lecture. Brown delivers lightning: America has fallen from “city on a hill” to a meteorite in the abyss, its light fading in a culture drunk on power and contemptuous of the Creator who once defined equality. She quotes Ken Burns calling the Founding the second greatest event in history, then sharpens it: only because Founders tethered equality to God. Coolidge: “If all men are created equal, that is final”—deniers march backward into tyranny.
She resurrects colonial preachers who birthed the Revolution, warns clergy: last line before Canadian-style pulpit arrests. California fines $250,000 for refusing to call a man “she.” Congress flipped marriage in 26 years. Students chant “Don’t tell me facts!”—truth has fallen.
Rebellion is defiance. Rainbow flag demands forced celebration. MLK’s dream, updated: no identity power—only God’s power. “We’ve messed this up so badly no human can fix it,” she says, “but that ain’t all we got.”
