Time: 5:00pm - 6:30pm

As the 2020 elections approach, what will be the role of Black women in the electorate, as candidates, and mobilizers in the political process? No group performs in the cohesive manner as Black women perform. Will their sense of urgency be enough to elect candidates who represent their interests or will the status quo prevail?
Light refreshments will be served. Please RSVP if you plan to attend.
