FACT: Black girls are six times as likely to be suspended in our nation's public schools as white girls. All Black youth are at risk of being pushed onto the school-to-prison pipeline.
Take a stand against the barriers to equality facing our girls! Join us October 23 at 12:00PM EST for a virtual town hall.
#WhyWeCantWait: Where Do We Go From Here?
Demarginalizing women and girls of color and creating an intersectional social justice agenda
On September 19, President Obama finally called for increased recognition and support for Black women. But our work is far from over. Now we must ask--where do we go from here? In the few months that remain, what steps can the Obama Administration take to address the challenges facing women and girls and lift up the barriers--structural, institutional and social--undermining the wellbeing of communities of color?
Join us for #WhyWeCantWait: Where Do We Go From Here?, to discuss some of the hard facts about the status of women and girls of color and consider what concrete steps could be taken to enhance their well being. Together let's demand an equitable and meaningful racial justice agenda! Join us and share the event widely with your networks!
