Black women have always shown up and shown out politically, and while in the past, we’ve politely asked to be seen and heard, we’re no longer asking, but demanding representation. Here we feature the accomplishments of Black women, and show just how active we are in building power. So take this as your inspiration, and go out there, organize, mobilize and Speak UP!
