OUR MISSION
Our mission is to empower Black women across the country and mobilize them for action.
We are working to create a future – and an America – that is informed by the experiences and expertise of Black women.
We recruit, train and support grassroots community efforts year-round, giving them the room to sustain and grow their networks for the long haul.
We have [x] number of in-state organizers in Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida and Michigan who are mobilizing voters around student debt forgiveness, midterm elections, general elections and more.
Through Peer2Peer contact, field organizing, digital outreach and relational organizing, we have engaged 300,000 Black women since 2020 on a range of issues that impact them.
1000 Women Strong is working at the intersection of politics and communal care.
1000 Women Strong was founded by Shakya Cherry-Donaldson, evolving from her field work with Stacey Abrams, Deval Patrick, and other grassroots leaders, to build the “beloved community.”
