In this month's CGC Journal, we dive into the War Waged Against Black Women and DEI. Plus, we ask the critical question: Why do a majority of White women vote polar opposite of the majority of Black women ... and all nonwhite women? We want to hear from you. Join our co-learning community and let's have a conversation. To make substantive progress we must understand the enemies of our progress. https://lnkd.in/gctvFRz5

WOMEN'S EQUALITY DAY This last weekend on Aug 26th, we recognized a pivotal moment in our nation's history: Women's Equality Day. On that day, we commemorate the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution back in 1920, a landmark achievement that granted women the right to vote. This is a moment to take stock of where we’ve been and where we are headed. It’s important to note that the suffrage movement focused only on white women. #Votingrights were not equal among all women. The struggle for voting rights extended beyond 1920 for Black women and women of color. More than four decades later, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibited #racial #discrimination in voting. As we acknowledge the #intersectional nature of the struggle for equality, we set our shoulders for the continued fight. The struggle is ongoing, and it's a shared responsibility. It extends into every corner of our lives, from the workplace, to our homes, legislative halls, and neighborhoods. By standing together and advocating for change, we can bring about a brighter future. Thank you for your support of HerRights, and your dedication to equality, #justice and progress. Let's speak the truth about history, honor past achievements, and channel our energy into building an inclusive, just and equitable society. In solidarity, The HerRights Global Board and Staff

🏛️Join the #civility pledge movement initiated by Mayor Marianne Meed Ward (C.Dir.). Details: https://lnkd.in/gAF6t7xC We pledge to: 1. Support each other and call out #abuse and #harassment when we see it or experience it; 2. Call on all our allies to stand with us to support women in office and call out all forms of abuse and harassment; 3. Call on all elected officials to uphold the highest standards of conduct, focusing on #respectful debate of the issues and not personal attacks; 4. Call on the relevant authorities to ensure the protection of individuals who speak out against abuse, or who experience abuse, providing them with the necessary support and resources.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to and signed the H.E.R. Halton pledge back in May to end harassment of women in government. We have started a movement -- with the pledge being picked up nationally by the Canadian Association of Feminist Parliamentarians! We are now working on what are our next steps and intend to open up our original H.E.R. pledge and invite any elected officials who want to sign on to reach out to my office. We will keep a rolling update, including on my website. If any elected official hasn't done so and would like to, please let us know and we'll add new names as they come in. I also encourage elected officials to reach out to their own networks of women to include anyone who wishes to participate.

The conversation surrounding women’s right to vote is a classic example of the dangers of a single narrative. When the Woman’s Suffrage movement is discussed, the ratification of the 19th amendment on August 18, 1920 and the access achieved for white women is often centered. For another 45 years, societal practices would prohibit women from marginalized communities to exercise this right. We’re taught that these issues are separate - a gender issue and a race issue - when in fact they are intertwined. The intersection of our identities only heighten our level of need. Adella Hunt Logan was a Tuskegee Institute faculty member who wrote for The Crisis, an NAACP publication, once shared “if white women needed the vote to protect their rights, then black women – victims of racism as well as sexism – needed the ballot even more.” The passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 accomplished what the Women’s Suffrage movement set out to do - securing the right to vote for women - ALL Women - and so many more. When society anchors to a single narrative, we only see a fragment of the whole picture. #womensleadership #womenshistorymonth #womenempowerment #challengethestatusquo #DEI #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #TransparentWriting #EquitableFuture #LiveYourTruth #RaiseOurVoices #WomensHistoryMonth #WomxnsHistoryMonth #CelebratingWomen #Women #Womxn
