Per our Resolution, “The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. shall advocate for fair, transparent, and equitable redistricting that ensures all communities have an equal voice in the democratic process; and will generally support bipartisan and independent redistricting commissions, increased public participation, and enforcement of federal and state protections against racial gerrymandering.”

To support this advocacy and message, we present the following Position Paper to you and encourage you to educate yourself and share this message with your local, state and Federal elected officials encouraging them to support fair and equitable redistricting.

In service,

This conversation may be uncomfortable, but it’s necessary.
Black women are disproportionately exposed to harmful ingredients in many beauty and personal care products. That’s not just a beauty issue—it’s a public health issue.

We deserve safer products, stronger protections, and greater accountability.
