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”.

Data suggests women are registered to vote in the U.S. at higher rates than men – that includes two-thirds of eligible Black women.

The history of Black voter suppression in the United States is a deeply ingrained legacy that has shaped the nation's political landscape.
