Friend --

We’re chipping away at a path forward and are inspired by the millions of people around the country and around the globe that are willing to take to the streets and fight against injustice.

TODAY at 2:00pm ET, join us for Sunday Brunch with Higher Heights hosted by The Sip on Facebook to continue the conversation on taking action in this fight with special guests, New York State Attorney General, Tish James and Cook County State’s Attorney, Kim Foxx!

From the new Black Lives Matter Plaza in DC thanks to Mayor Muriel Bowser to last Tuesday’s election of the first Black Mayor of Ferguson, MO, Ella Jones—Black women are stepping up to take the actions necessary to speak up for Black lives and equality in this country.

This past week, #TheSip brought together some very special guests to have some tough but necessary conversations to tease out the direct actions we need to take to show up in this moment and inspire change. 

The Sip Power Hour Lunch on Wednesday tackled the attack on Blackness, the global uprising demanding change, the state of emergency of our democracy and the need for us to control the narrative by telling our own stories—our guests included; Andrea Jenkins, Vice-President, Minneapolis City Council, Danielle Belton, Editor-in-Chief,  The Root, Cassia Herron, Chair, Kentuckians For The Commonwealth, and Sadiqa Reynolds, President & CEO, Louisville Urban League.

We closed the week with a very special The Sip on Friday in conversation with Senator Elizabeth Warren on how to go beyond being an ally by taking action as a true co-conspirator.

Today’s The Sip Sunday Brunch with Higher Heights edition at 2:00pm ET will continue the conversation and unpack the demands to transform the criminal justice system.

Special Guests:

• Tish James, New York State Attorney General
• Kim Foxx, Cook County State’s Attorney

Onward,
