Reclaiming The Ballot

Join Feminista Jones and Leslie Mac for a candid, hard-hitting discussion about the role of Black women in the 2020 election, from grassroots and political organizing to legal support and fighting voter suppression: How will Black women reclaim the ballot this year?

We know that Black women are the strongest, most consistent voting bloc in the U.S. Are our needs actually being met by the people we support? Why is 2020 any different from past elections and what is really at stake? How do we reconcile feeling used for political gain and having so little to show for it with our compulsion to keep voting and keep fighting in this way?

This conversation is guaranteed to challenge you and inspire you to get to work!
