This Race + Power Weekly considers what we must do to end the criminalization of Black women and girls, and create pro-Black, feminist futures. First, NPQ fellow, Shanelle Matthews, discusses the power of shifting narratives to make visible state violence and create public safety for Black women and girls. Next, NPQ editor in chief, Cyndi Suarez, reports on innovative Black feminist approaches to evaluation for Black-led social change. Then, an immigrant justice organizer’s arrest highlights the stakes of protecting protest for people of color fighting to end police violence and detention. Finally, in the wake of last week’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, we refeature NPQ editor, Kitana Ananda, on how Black and Brown reproductive justice activists continue to lead the fight to decriminalize abortion.
