Core values

- **Addressing Disproportionate Media Coverage**: BAMFI highlights the disparity in media coverage for missing persons of color, who are often overlooked in favor of white victims. This helps in ensuring equal media attention and resources for all missing persons[2][4][5].
- **Providing Resources and Support**: The organization offers vital resources and tools to families and friends of missing persons, including public awareness campaigns, billboards, and social media outreach. This support is crucial for families navigating the often-hostile environments of law enforcement and media[1][2][4].
- **Educating Communities**: BAMFI educates the minority community on personal safety, which can help in preventing future disappearances and improving overall community safety[1].
- **Promoting Positive Change**: By advocating for equal treatment and resources, BAMFI works to break down barriers based on race, income, zip code, and economic status that hinder the search for missing persons of color. This promotes systemic change and fairness within law enforcement and media[2][4].
- **Community Engagement**: The organization engages the community through various initiatives, such as distributing fliers, using billboards, and encouraging social media sharing. This community involvement is essential for locating missing persons and providing closure for families[2][4].
