Friend --

Tonight is the night—the top Presidential hopefuls will share one stage all at once. <[link removed]>

We’ll be carefully critiquing their answers and platforms to assess which candidates can positively impact the lives of Black women and those who most likely cannot. <[link removed]>

As the debates were taking place a few months back in Detroit, we launched our survey in order to shed light on the issues most important to Black women voters.  <[link removed]>

Black women’s votes will determine the Democratic presidential nominee so these new insights are critical as the Democratic party candidates are detailing their platforms. <[link removed]>

Of the 887 survey respondents, when asked what were the top concerns for Black women: <[link removed]>

- Nearly half, at (46.59 percent) cited healthcare as their top concern. 
- The second and third largest concerns amongst survey respondents were the economy at 15.23 percent and jobs at 12.6 percent. 
- Safety and gun violence (7.50 percent) and education (4.32 percent) also made the list of top concerns amongst Black women. 

Tonight, you can join us on Twitter, @HigherHeightPAC <[link removed]>, at 8:00pm ET for our virtual #BlackWomenLead Twitter Debate Watch conversation and add your voice using our #BlackWomenLead hashtag along with #DemDebate.  <[link removed]>



Whether you’ll be watching from home, a watch party, or attending in-person—here are a few things to keep in mind as you’re assessing who should represent you as the Democratic nominee: <[link removed]>

- Do they answer questions directly, or evade them? 
- Do they give specifics about their stands on the issues, or speak in generalities?
- Have they addressed concerns of Black women directly?
- Do they support their positions and arguments with facts and figures?
- Do they talk about their own policies and positions, or mostly attack their opponents?
- Are their proposals realistic? Can they actually carry out promises they are making?
- Do they show how their backgrounds and experience qualify them to hold the office?
- Are their answers consistent with their previous positions? If not, do they explain why?

The road to 2020 is powered by Black women and we’ll continue to be your source every step of the way. <[link removed]>

Onward,
