As we approach this critical election season, a remarkable story unfolds across America. Young Black women are not just registering to vote at unprecedented rates – they’re poised to make their voices heard at the ballot box like never before.

A record number of early votes have been cast in Georgia on Tuesday as residents headed to the polls in a critical battleground state that is grappling with the fallout from Hurricane Helene and controversial election administration changes that have spurred a flurry of lawsuits.

The Black Women’s Roundtable organization is making sure Black women cast their ballots during Saturday’s “Power of the Sister Vote Boot Camp”.

According to KFF.org, as of 2022, 72.4% of African Americans in Mississippi were registered to vote. However, only 47% of those registered cast a ballot.
