Change Today, Change Tomorrow is a Black woman-led, community-driven force for change, dedicated to eradicating barriers that disproportionately impact Black communities. Our work is rooted in the belief that providing is prevention, whether it’s through fresh, healthy groceries, cooking education, or other vital support services. We don’t just offer resources—we activate our community with the tools and knowledge needed to create lasting, sustainable change. CTCT is about comm#UNITY, health, and resilience, proving that by working together today, we can enact change and build a better tomorrow.

More About Us

Black   People are Dying   in Louisville's West End

We serve Louisville’s Black community, particularly those in the West End, where the impact of systemic racism is most deeply felt. These neighborhoods face significant challenges, including limited access to fresh food, healthcare, and quality education, that contribute to a 15 year life expectancy difference when compared to East Louisville. Our work is crucial because the well-being of these communities is directly tied to the broader health of our city. By focusing on those who are often counted out, CTCT ensures that everyone has the support they need

The time for action is now. The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated food apartheid in our community, creating even greater disparities in access to healthy food. The West End area deserves better, and we demand that local decision-makers take immediate action to address this critical issue. By signing this petition, we can add our voices to the demand for better access to fresh and healthy food options in the West End area.

Because When You Show Up for the Most Marginalized, You Show Up for Everyone


We focus on uplifting Black communities because we recognize the unique challenges they face, but our commitment to justice and equity means we never turn anyone away. We believe that barrier-free access to essential resources is a right, not a privilege, and we don’t require proof of need—because we know that Black people are dying from systemic neglect and racism, and we’re here to reverse that trend. We’re not just interested in giving out free stuff; we’re working to dismantle the systems that perpetuate poverty and exclusion, activating our community to take their place in the rooms where money and policy decisions are made. As our founder, Taylor Ryan, says, "We are who we’ve been waiting for." We are the advocates, the change-makers, and the community we serve—because we are one and the same.
