Today we are talking about the Black women of America and their place in the nexus of Voting, Reproductive and Equal Rights. As you may know that’s what the VERY in our podcast name refers to—V for voting, E for Equal, R for Reproductive…and the Y for Yes, that’s why we’re pissed: all of these rights are endangered—but we’re fighting back and we want you to join us in this year when our very democracy seems imperiled.
Glynda Carr, the co-founder and president of Higher Heights for America and hashtag Black Women Lead (#blackwomenlead) is our guest today. As we know from the 2020 election, it was the powerful organizing of Black women in places like Georgia that not only propelled the Biden/Harris ticket to success, but also delivered the Unites States Senate, with the election of 2 Democratic Senators in that state. But have Black women of America benefited from their heroic efforts—and will they do it all again in 2022--and 2024?
We talk with Glynda Carr of Higher Heights—to identify, support and endorse Black women running at every level of political office in the country. And we examine the prospects of the Black woman vote.
