Before it was a buzzword, β€œwoke” was a call to consciousness.
Garvey said it. Lead Belly sang it. We lived it.
Now they weaponize it to silence truth, but we know better.

It's Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but this year, the wage gap isn’t the only problem. The latest jobs report shows Black women’s unemployment is rising. Paid less. Hired less. Promoted less. Protected less.✊🏾 Today, we demand equal pay, equity, justice, and care. #PayBlackWomen

πŸ—³οΈ The right to vote is ours. But in Alabama, lawmakers let HB71 die in committee, blocking early voting & keeping barriers in place. This was a choice. We deserve better. #VotingRights #ALPolitics

What does freedom really mean in America?

As fireworks go up, let’s tell the truth: independence without liberation is just a performance. Our Executive Director, Anneshia Hardy, calls us to dig deeper this July 4thΒ
