As the 2024 presidential election approaches, a surge of activism among Black women has emerged in support of Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black woman to be nominated for the presidency by a major political party. This wave of support is fueled by a deep sense of ancestral pride and a renewed sense of urgency to advance the nomination of a woman who shares their ancestry. Groups led by Black women are launching new political ventures to aid Harris' campaign, including the creation of the first political action committee by Alpha Kappa Alpha, the historically Black sorority Harris joined at Howard University. Additionally, Care in Action, the political arm of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, is undertaking its first ad campaign to get out the vote, with commercials running through September. The National Council of Negro Women has joined together with its member chapters and dozens of affiliated groups, such as the Black youth organization Jack and Jill of America, on a drive to register Black women and young voters between the ages of 17 and 24. This groundswell of support for Harris is a testament to the power of Black women as a reliable Democratic voting bloc. Their commitment to the Democratic Party is evident in their efforts to expand the electorate and turn out voters in key battleground states like North Carolina. What are your thoughts on the impact of Black women's support for Harris on the 2024 presidential election? How do you think this will shape the political landscape?

Happy Juneteenth, Happy Pride, Happy Black Music Month, and Happy #BlackFacts Week! Sometimes the loudest voices aren’t telling the whole story. NBJC, along with amazing partners @nclrights @humanrightscampaign @taskforceaf @glsen & @familyequality, just released a groundbreaking study called “Black Facts” with research collected by @hitstrategies. #BlackFacts flips the script by centering Black voices and experiences in vivid technicolors. This research exposes the “matrix of domination,” a system designed to divide us. But guess what? Our data also highlights the power of unity and shared struggles. What happens to one of us, truly affects all of us. ✊🏾 So, let’s disrupt the white noise and embrace “white supremacy rehab” (thanks @thecicibattle!). “Black Facts” is packed with data for anyone who wants to protect Black lives, build a stronger democracy, and have real conversations. Head over to https://lnkd.in/eRURKgcy to download the study and join the movement! #CiteThisData #Data #Research #CiteYourSource #CiteYourSources #DataScience #AI #Technology #Tech #Advocacy #Action #LetsALLGetFree ✊🏾

Black leaders with access and proximity to power draw and release strength as they acknowledge their connection to the work of generations before us, tap into genuine love and care for Black people, and desire and believe that there can and will be substantial progress for Black communities into the future. However, the potency of this strength often varies depending on the leadership approach and attitude related to the Black community's progress, briefly categorized in the three tiers below. 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽: You embody success and Black community progress through your track record and ability to gain access and proximity to spaces of power that typically or traditionally have not been previously available to your family or generations before you.  We are progressing because you are an example of such progress. You, for example, are the first Black (fill in the blank). 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽: You have been given or earned much, and thus, you are required to motivate or give much by expanding the door of access and proximity to Black youth and communities (i.e., those that our society terms at-risk, underserved, underprivileged, and in-poverty). We progress as you mentor, teach, minister, and invest in programs to help “them” progress along your or a similar path to success. 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽: You see your current access and proximity to spaces of power as having the potential to change quickly at any time. You view your individual and familial stability and security as tied to the strength and stamina of all Black people across class and other lines of difference, domestically and globally. We progress as we evolve in our mindset and approach, and you seek to help “us” generate health from within, not primarily or solely through fleeting external charity or inclusion, nor without understanding that assets gained must also be protected.
