John, 100 years ago today — the
19th amendment was ratified and women were officially granted the right to
vote.
It was a hard-won victory that was made possible by generations of women
who fought bravely to reach this milestone in equality.
But there are hard truths we must acknowledge about this acclaimed moment
in history. Although our constitution finally stated that all women are
allowed to vote — millions of women from Indigenous, immigrant, Brown, and
Black communities were still denied this right for years to come.
Some women benefited more than others, and the women who sacrificed the
most were left behind.
To this day, we still see examples of how progress doesn’t trickle equally
to Black and non-Black folks. It’s critical we confront this reality and
ask ourselves what role non-Black women can play in the fight to affirm
Black lives.

Ultraviolet team will lead a discussion about what it means for each of us
to be pro-Black in our circles of influence and community. RSVP now to
reserve your spot for this Thursday at 5pm ET/ 2pm PT.

Together we will ask ourselves: What does it mean to be Pro-Black? What
does this look like as a person of color? How can non-Black people of
color hold those principles inside their own lives and not rely on their
individual relationships with Black people to hold them to these
principles? What does anti-Blackness look like for people of color?
Each of us has an opportunity to be a force for radical change in our
communities. If we join together, we will have the power to push toward
true equality.

we are to defend and affirm Black lives. Please RSVP now to join us on
Thursday and reflect on your personal role affirming Black lives.
Hope to see you there,
