Center 1968 is on a mission to train and elect more Black women in politics and policy

When Jasmine Sessoms observed the political landscape, she was disheartened to see that practically no Black women worked in public policy. After successfully training Black women to run for political office in her home state of Pennsylvania through her “She Can Run” program—resulting in graduates like Cherelle Parker, who went on to be elected Philadelphia’s first female mayor—Sessoms decided she needed to go a step further. “Without training us, investing in us, and connecting us, we really are struggling,” said […]

Calls for Democrats to abandon ‘woke’ identity politics alienates Black and marginalized groups, some fear

In the weeks following major defeats in the 2024 elections, the Democratic Party continues to self-reflect about where they went wrong with the American electorate and how to win back voters.  Some within the party have suggested that President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive win, particularly among non-college-educated and working-class voters, is a lesson for Democrats to do away with supporting “woke” policies and identity politics because it somehow alienates working-class voters.  The suggestion has caused clear divisions within the party, particularly […]

A decade of racial justice activism transformed politics but landmark reforms remain elusive

WASHINGTON (AP) — Cori Bush went from helping to lead an informal movement for racial justice to winning two terms as a congresswoman from Missouri, with an office decorated with photographs of families who lost loved ones to police violence.
