When a child or loved one goes missing, do you know what to do first? 💛
Our First Vice President of Programs Kim Nute-Jones sits down with a Chicago Police detective to clear up one of the most dangerous myths out there: the idea that you have to wait 24 hours to report someone missing.
You DO NOT have to wait. The moment you realize a child is not in the care of their parent or guardian, or that a loved one is missing, you should file a report. Those first hours matter most.
When you report, have as much information ready as you can:
✔️ A current photo
✔️ Full physical description, including height and weight
✔️ What they were last seen wearing and where
✔️ Any detail that helps, no matter how small
And protection starts long before an emergency. As parents and guardians, we have to know our children's friends, who their parents are, and where they live. It takes a village, and we have to do better at protecting our children and our girls.
Watch, save this, and share it with every parent and guardian you know. The information in this video could save a life.
You can also help us fight for change. Support the Ebony Alert and help get it passed into law in Illinois. Sign the petition at the link 🔗 in our bio.👇🏾 https://qrcc.me/tbr82hsllhp2

Our Chapter President Dr. Latrice Eggleston Williams was on the ground October 3rd for our Missing and Murdered Black Women and Girls Advocacy Forum, standing with BUILD Chicago and our community to advocate for the Ebony Alert. 💛
When our women and girls go missing, they too often go unseen. The Ebony Alert changes that. It creates a dedicated alert system so that when a Black woman or girl is missing, her name, her face, and her story get the urgency they deserve.
Right now Illinois has a chance to make it law. House Bill 4295, the Missing Persons Ebony Alert, is moving through Springfield, and our lawmakers need to hear that our community is behind it.
This is what advocacy looks like. Showing up, speaking up, and refusing to let anyone be forgotten.
Now we need you. Add your name to tell Illinois lawmakers that Black women and girls deserve to be found and protected.
Add your name and send a letter to our lawmakers. Link in our bio.🔗https://qrcc.me/tbr82hsllhp2

Every vote. Every voice. Every community. 💛
This week is National Voter Education Week, October 5 to 9, and the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Chicago Metropolitan Chapter is putting the work into action. A stronger democracy starts with an informed voter, and that starts with all of us.
Here are 5 steps you can take this week, and carry into every election:
1️⃣ Register to vote. Verify or update your registration through your state election office.
2️⃣ Know your ballot. Research the candidates, ballot measures, and local races.
3️⃣ Make a voting plan. Decide when and how you'll vote, and find your polling place.
4️⃣ Understand the process. Know your state and local voting rules, and where to get help.
5️⃣ Share with your circle. Invite family, friends, and neighbors to take these same steps.
This is trusted, nonpartisan information. We don't tell you who to vote for. We make sure you have everything you need to show up prepared and confident.
Be a trusted messenger. Save this post, share it with your people, and let's mobilize our community together.

See it. Say it. Stop it. Together, we can save lives. 💛
This past Saturday, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Chicago Metropolitan Chapter brought our community together for our Missing and Murdered Black Women and Girls Advocacy Forum, and the room was full of people ready to act.
We were honored to stand alongside our state and local legislators, community members, and representatives from the Chicago Police Department, in partnership with BUILD on the West Side of Chicago, where we held the event. When lawmakers, law enforcement, and community sit at the same table, change becomes possible.
At the heart of this fight is a clear goal: passing the Ebony Alert into law here in Illinois. An Ebony Alert is an emergency alert system, like an Amber Alert, created specifically for missing Black women, children, and youth, whose cases too often go unnoticed and underreported. Our women and girls deserve the same urgency, the same resources, and the same attention given to anyone else who goes missing.
Awareness is where it starts. Legislation is how it lasts.
To every legislator, partner, and community member who showed up, thank you. Now let's finish the work.
📢 Support the Ebony Alert in Illinois and help us turn this conversation into law.
