Women currently make up more than 50% of the United States but are less than 25% of Congress. This needs to change. Today we wanted to share five awesome women striving to make a difference in their communities and work towards a more equitable world. 

These five awesome organizations are just a few of the many organizations that help underrepresented communities, including women, BIPOC, and members of the LGBTQ+ community run for office. Representation matters! 

We want to make recommending our favorite reads a regular occurrence on our blog, and we decided to start with a list of books written by fabulous Black female authors for all of us to explore!

Here are a few amazing Black LGBTQ+ activists to follow including the infamous Miss Major Griffin-Gracy. Each of these individuals run companies, organizations, or funds that support the LGBTQ+ community.

As part of our commitment to fight racial injustice we want to use our platform to amplify Black voices and make our space one that is inclusive and diverse. We are very excited to share a roundup of just a few of the amazing Black-owned businesses out there to support!  

Resources to read, watch, and listen to deepen your anti-racism work.
