Amplifying Voices of Black Women

SIGN UP TO RECEIVE EMAIL UPDATES ON OUR PROGRESS


One Million Black Women is launching a new public policy initiative to amplify the voices of Black women in the United States as they advocate for policy changes that will help advance economic opportunity. Systemic challenges require sustained investment from the private sector and policy makers need to hear from Black women on the issues and policies affecting them. We will share our findings to catalyze the development of policy solutions that will drive systems change across critical economic issues.

We recently teamed up with Women’s Basketball Champion, Angel Reese, to share an important message with Congress. Watch the video above and read our press release to learn more.
