Friend --

Today we write to you with much hanging in the balance. Uncertainty looms over us as our communities continue to face the unknown.

This new normal has brought many changes but one constant we are celebrating is the simple fact that—Black women lead.

This pandemic we have witnessed firsthand the effects of Black women in leadership have had on flattening the curve and demonstrates the need to invest in the next generation of Black women leaders who, in the spirit of Shirley Chisholm, seek to provide ‘Unbought and Unbossed’ leadership at all levels.

We think you would agree that who we elect to lead us matters now more than ever.  Together, we will continue to help Black women lead from our homes and communities to city halls and congress. Are you willing to help us hit our goal and invest in Black women with a contribution? 

Our former endorsed candidate, Mayor London Breed’s early and aggressive moves to contain the outbreak have made San Francisco a national model in fighting the pandemic.

London made a critical decision to shut down the city against popular opinion and her decisive leadership is now being replicated across the country.

“She took incredible political heat and criticism,” Senator Kamala Harris said, “and she had the courage to make a decision that she in her gut, based on science and the research she did, told her this was the right thing to do for her people, even when other people couldn’t see it yet.”

An investment in our Black women leaders is an investment in the safety and health of our families. Help us to continue supporting the women that value the lives of our families by contributing to the work of Higher Heights today.

Higher Heights was founded by Black women for Black women’s political growth and equity, and we have been working tirelessly to build collective political power and expand Black women elected leadership in 2020 and beyond—but we can’t do this work without your support.

Onward, 

Glynda
