As we settle into the back-to-school season, we encourage you to against school pushout!

Did you know across the United States, schools use various punitive discipline practices that result in students being removed from class?

These practices include harsh disciplinary actions such as suspensions, expulsions, transfers to an alternative education setting, or referrals to law enforcement.

As a result, they weaken students’ connections to school by depriving students of valuable learning time. A punitive environment erodes students’ well-being and sense of safety at school and can ultimately push students—particularly Black girls—out of school altogether.

We encourage educators, school leaders, advocates, and community members who support Black girls to push back against school pushout this year!

Visit nbwji.org/pushback to learn how to against school pushout in your community.

Join us on September 16 at 1p eastern as we co-host a live webinar from the Power Frame Project. We'll be sharing narrative framing techniques based on their most recent research that can help us inspire and sustain action for justice-impacted Black women’s power.

Why this, and why now? The Power Frame Project’s work shows that we can motivate people to act by leading our narratives with women’s success and achievements. Rather than risking backlash and rage fatigue by leading with the disparities and obstacles, power framing creates positive and enduring energy for change.

We all know that this is a challenging moment — politically, economically, and culturally. We need these powerful narrative strategies to carry us forward.

Happy Labor Day to every hand that builds, teaches, heals, serves, and strengthens our communities.

At the National Black Women’s Justice Institute, we’re celebrating the members of our Sisters in Solidarity Reentry Network of formerly incarcerated Black women who are championing gender-responsive, trauma-informed approaches to reentry. Their lived experiences, leadership, and service are helping to bridge gaps in access to real job opportunities for Black women and girls returning home after incarceration.

Formerly incarcerated Black women experience high rates of unemployment—more than 43%, or 6 times the rate of their peers who have not been involved in the criminal-legal system.

As we work to end the criminalization of Black women and girls, we honor the Black women who are building pathways for economic empowerment, dignity, and healing for others.

Today, we uplift their labor and leadership as a powerful reminder of what becomes possible when Black women and girls are supported, resourced, and encouraged to lead.

Did you know August holds deep significance across Black liberation movements? Black August is a time to honor political prisoners, freedom fighters, and those who continue to pursue Black liberation.

As Black August comes to an end, we will continue to uplift Black women whose leadership advances healing-centered justice for justice-impacted people. One way we do this is through our Sisters in Solidarity Reentry Network, which uplifts the leadership and lived expertise of formerly incarcerated Black women leading the movement for gender-responsive reentry.

Join us Wednesday, September 16 at 1 PM EST as we co-host the Powerframe Project alongside -institute and to discuss new narrative framing techniques for liberation movements.

At this free, live webinar, you will learn insights on effective messaging for gender justice campaigns. Come to gain practical, research-backed tools that can help motivate people to act for justice-impacted Black women as we carry the lessons of Black August forward together.

At this critical moment, National Black Women’s Justice Institute is co-hosting the Power Frame Project to bring new narrative framing techniques to our network. Join this free, live webinar to gain practical research-backed tools that can help motivate people to act for justice-impacted Black women.

How we see justice-impacted Black women shapes how we serve them, and the Power Frame Project brings clear evidence that framing can change everything — our values, our beliefs, and even our culture. Their new research shows that leading our narratives with achievements and effective exercise of power, rather than obstacles and disparities, inspires the belief that we can and should continue to make progress.

This feeling of agency — that we can and do reach our goals — is just as motivating as the anger and outrage we feel when we focus on the inequities and injustices women face, but reduces the risk of demoralization and burnout that anger and outrage often lead to.

This is an inflection point, and we can make a difference. Join us in discovering this exciting new research and learn how to use it to spark and sustain action.
