Who we are we: Win With Black Women/ Black Women United
Follow: @WinWithBlackWomen IG / Twitter
We are a collective of intergenerational, intersectional Black women leaders throughout the nation. We are business leaders, political strategists, student leaders, faith leaders, tech leaders, labor leaders, pioneers in sports, music and entertainment, movement leaders, and beyond. We have come together within our personal capacities to stand united in support of Black women.
We were motivated by our collective concern with the narrative and treatment of all the Black women in the 2020 VP candidate selection. Our belief is that no matter your political affiliation - you should have been outraged by the treatment of Black women in that process.
We gathered on our first Zoom call in August 2020 -- that night 90 Women gathered after an urgent email calling for action. We decided to write an open letter to speak out against racism and sexism- that letter was signed by more than 2,6000 Black Women leaders.
We made clear that the pathway to the White House and unifying our nation was to #WinWithBlackWomen. We were vocal and organized to not only advocate for a Black women VP candidate but to also ensure a historic victory for Black women running for office across the nation. We met every Sunday thereafter. Since then we have grown to more than 3600 Black women leaders within the network. Members of our collective have played a significant role in the historic 2020 election and 2021 GA special election. Our members have helped to raise more than $600,000 in the recent political cycle and our hashtag #WinWithBlackWomen has received more than 600 million impressions reaching and moving millions.
Additionally, we have supported the efforts of leaders advocating for a Black woman in the US Senate (#KeeptheSeat), mobilized to support the GA runoff with food trucks, fundraising, and influencer engagement (#thankyouGA and #LivefromGA), and the appointment of Black women to critical positions in the current White House Administration including the US Supreme Court. We continue to push back against racism and sexism through open letters. We continue to organize and leverage our talent, influence, networks, and brilliance into areas of collective alignment.
We are committed to 3 goals
1. Eliminating the racist and sexist attacks on Black women
2. Working within our capacities to support the historic number of Black women running for elected office
3. Elevating the agenda and collective power of Black Women
