Join our next Feminist Future webinar this Thursday at 5pm ET/ 2pm PT: Pro-Blackness for People of Color
Together, we will explore what it means to be Pro-Black and affirm Black life as a person of color.
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.
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.
Hope to see you there,
Women’s March
