Who we are

Founded by Black women, for Black women's power.

Sisters Lead Sisters Vote was formed and founded by a group of Black women leaders to be a voice for the interests of Black women and their families.

Our mission

We support the political power of Black women.

We amplify Black women's voices on the issues that matter most to the Black community.

Our strength is not only our vote and our relationships with the Black community, but our collective development and support of Black women's leadership.

For SLSV, Black women include any straight, cis, trans, gender-expansive, non-binary, and/or any femme-identified person who identifies as Black.

Amplify

Black women's voices, in media, on social media, and in political discourse.

Advance

Black women's political leadership, before, during, and after the campaign.

Expand

Black women's opportunities to organize, run, win, and govern.

Four ways we show up.

Locally, nationally, and online, our work stands behind the issues, policies, and people that shape the lives of Black women and their families.

Issues and policies that affect the well-being of Black women, their families, and their communities.

Four commitments guide where we put our energy, and the leaders we stand behind.

01

Racial & social justice

We fill the gap in support for Black women's leadership, standing with her through her service, before and after the campaign.

02

Economic justice

We back Black women leading on paid leave for all, the ERA, and the local economic issues that hit our communities hardest.

03

Environmental justice

We engage Black women's leadership to improve the health and safety of the places our families live.

04

Reproductive justice

With threats to Black women's health and bodily autonomy at an all-time high, we amplify the leaders fighting back.

  1. Stop. Harmful things.
  2. Block. The roadblocks.
