Virtual event is a call to gather family, talk about the election and honor Vice President Harris’ birthday
WASHINGTON, October 20, 2024 (Newswire.com) – The Black Women’s Leadership Collective was founded as an organizing hub for Black women to leverage our collective power to make our voices heard in our communities, the halls of power and the ballot box. Already in this historic election cycle, Black women are leading a surge in voter registration and breaking early voting records, once again demonstrating why we are known as an electoral powerhouse.
Now, it’s time to gather our friends and loved ones for a “family” meeting about the 2024 election to leverage the collective power of our people. On Sunday, October 20th at 6:30 pm EST, we will host “Black Family Freedom Dinner”, to celebrate Vice President Kamala Harris’ birthday, and discuss the issues that impact our futures. The Black Women’s Leadership Collective is hosting this virtual event in collaboration with Win with Black Women, Win With Black Men and Win With Black Church PAC.
The conversation comes at a critical moment and there is a lot to talk about. From increasing access to capital for our small businesses, making it easier to buy a home, tax cuts for families, continuing to lower crime rates, to protecting Social Security and Medicare. We have the opportunity to vote for a future where basic freedoms including voting and controlling our bodies are protected, and ending the erasure of our history and our stories is ensured.
The Black Family Freedom Dinner is part of our ongoing work engaging the millions of Black women the Collective reaches across the country to ensure that they have the tools they need to register to vote, understand who and what issues are on their ballot, make a voting plan and cast their ballots. From North Carolina where the BWLC’s state affiliate is organizing Black women in all 100 counties, to grassroots organizing events in the other battle ground states to virtual events, we are making our voices heard.
Together we are making it clear that we are not going back. We are voting for our lives, our communities and a future where Kamala Harris is the President of the United States.
