In this week’s Race + Power newsletter, we explore what real, change-making solidarity looks like. First, support for Palestine is surging, with diverse groups showing solidarity in record-breaking numbers. How did the movement reach this point, and where will it go from here? Next, a concerning pattern is emerging of Black women leaving leadership roles. A new report from the Washington Area Women’s Foundation aims to address what Black women leaders need to thrive. Then, there is an epidemic of missing Black women and girls in the United States. Recent policy wins have some communities celebrating progress—and the Black women whose advocacy made it possible. Finally, from the fourth season of “Off the Hook,” episode two explores how we develop oppositional consciousness, even at a young age.
