Friend --



Today, with our partner Phenomenal, we took out a full-page ad in The New York Times to celebrate the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which was signed into law 55 years ago today!

On the heels of what could be a monumental announcement of the pivotal role a Black woman could play in moving our country forward as Vice President, we recognize this month as the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage. But while the 19th Amendment ostensibly applied to all women, in practice Black women were still prevented from voting.



It was not until the passage of the Voting Rights Act — almost a half-century later — that Black women were fully enfranchised, the culmination of a centuries-long battle for Black voting rights.



That fight continues today, as our nation faces an unprecedented assault on voting rights, from mass voter suppression and felony disenfranchisement. 



Despite these significant barriers to the ballot box, Black women remain one of the most reliable and powerful voting blocs in the country—and there is no organization as intimately connected to America’s community of Black women voters, activists, and leaders as Higher Heights. We are dedicated to creating an environment to unleash Black women’s political organizing power from the voting booth to elected office. 



With your support we can do so much more. Purchase your very own, ‘I’m Gonna Win’ tee and contribute to keep the work of Higher Heights going! This effort is part of our #BlackWomenVote <[link removed]> 2020 Campaign, the leading independent and trusted voice for Black women leading up to and beyond Election Day 2020.

Black women will not be suppressed. We will not be silenced. We will not be deterred.  We will not be defeated.  We’re gonna win.  Black women are gonna win.



Onward,



Team Higher Heights
