Over half of all poll workers who served in recent elections are over 60 years old, a population that is especially vulnerable to the ongoing pandemic. Fortunately, there are ways we can help.

With the world literally on fire and the daily injustices continuing against marginalized people, it can be hard to know where to look and how to help. To cut through the noise, we’re kicking off a weekly blog with six actions we all can take to support our communities.

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.

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!
