ScoopUSA Digital

The Digital edition of ScoopUSA is available online only and provides a myriad of information that affects Black and Brown communities throughout the Nation. This publication allows Scoop to expand its platform to focus on the issues that affect our communities in their entirety. Too often, we share the narrative that the issues that black and brown communities are faced are not relegated to one community, but they exist in all communities in which black and brown citizens live. With this in mind, ScoopDigital allows us to share this narrative so that our readers understand that their challenges are not just theirs alone, and that other communities are dealing with similar issues, and together we can find solutions.
