2024 Fall Electoral Fellowship

1KWomen Strong is an organization focused on empowering 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. Through rapid response messaging, issue advocacy and electoral mobilization, we are working across the U.S. to build community and political power for the long haul. 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 in-state organizers in various states who are mobilizing voters around student debt forgiveness, midterm elections, general elections and more.
