Week of Action

No Democracy Without Black Women 
May 24-28

Black women are severely underrepresented in state legislatures. It is time Black women received the recognition they deserve. Join us in this week of virtual events to shine a spotlight on Black women in state legislatures! 
 
Week of Action Events:

  • May 24th: Sister Solidarity Day/Twitter Storm  
  • May 25th: Instagram Live Interviews with Partners and Legislators 
  • May 27th: Panel Discussions: Elected, Now What? & Leading in the Legislature


The extreme under-representation in statehouses across the country leaves Black women out of critical policy discussion and implementation. State legislatures play a fundamental role in the creation of innovative policies that impact the lives of average Americans every day.
