End the War on Black Women

WATCH HERE

When Black trans women and femmes are free, we will all be free. When all Black women are free, we will all be free. 

Yet, Black women historically and presently experience some of the highest rates of violence (including fatal, physical, and sexual violence), the highest rates of maternal mortality and stress-related medical conditions, and some of the highest rates of poverty and unemployment of any group in the United States.

Black women also face disproportionately high rates of traffic stops, police violence, arrests, incarceration, and carceral control among women. Beyond that, Black women  represent the fastest growing population within prisons and jails in the country. It’s time to end this.

Join The Movement for Black Lives for a webinar on Ending the War on Black Women.

This webinar is the second in a series of Black August conversations around the recently relaunched Vision for Black Lives 2020, updated to reflect current conditions and deepened Black queer trans feminist and disability justice lenses.
