John,

Women’s History Month may be over, but our work to uplift and empower Black women and families across the country marches on — including our campaigns to:

• Demand media outlets adopt COC’s #ProtectBlackSurvivors Media Style Guide to stop harmful reporting on gender-based violence that prevents Black survivors from coming forward
• Get tech companies to protect us from abortion bounty-hunting and harassment efforts enabled by Texas Senate Bill 8
• Call on Congress to make the Child Tax Credit and other direct cash relief payments permanent
• Ensure that medically vulnerable women be released from federal prisons
• Pressure the President Biden Administration to eliminate student debt
• And so much more to create a world where the lives and stories of Black women and girls don’t just matter, but are centered.

I’m deeply grateful to be in community with not only the incredible Black women leading so much of our work here at COC and within our local squads, but also with committed members like you.

It will take all of us joining together to deliver the structural change we deserve. If you haven’t had a chance yet, it’s not too late to support the sisters of COC and our ongoing work — will you make a donation to fuel COC’s campaigns to win justice for Black women and us all?

Donate

Whether you’re able to contribute financially today or not, you’re part of a powerful movement that is millions strong.

So keep it up. We need to keep raising our voices. We need to keep inviting allies to do the work with us. We need to grow our efforts to change the written and unwritten rules of our society. I know that we can get it done.

Until Justice Is Real,

Arisha Michelle Hatch
