This year’s report is entitled “Time for a Power Shift” and sheds light on where Black women are today, socially, politically, economically, spiritually and health-wise.
The National Coalition on Black Civic Participation (NCBCP) is one of the most active civil rights and social justice organizations in the nation “dedicated to increasing civic engagement, economic and voter empowerment in Black America.” The Black Women’s Roundtable (BWR) is the women and girls empowerment arm of the NCBCP. At the forefront of championing just and equitable public policy on behalf of Black women, BWR promotes their health and wellness, economic security & prosperity, education and global empowerment as key elements for success.
Power of the Sister Vote Initiative
The Black Women’s Roundtable (BWR) is the women and girls empowerment arm of The National Coalition. The BWR Power of the Sister Vote Organizing Initiative (POSV) is focused on amplifying the voices and impact of the Black women’s electorate on racial equity, health, economic, social and reproductive justice issues impacting urban centers, small towns and rural Black communities.
The POSV intentional focus on women honors what we understand about our community that Black women are primary influencers and trusted sources with family, friends, and colleagues.
The POSV utilizes grassroots movement building that historically has driven the success of key public policies that improved the quality of life of all people. The strategy is a state-by- state, community-by-community, grassroots at its most basic level---organizing city, by city, town-by-town, neighborhood—by- neighborhood, block-by-block.
