Celebrate Black History Month, Women's History Mo

Celebrate Black History Month, Women's History Month and all year long with the WNBPA's latest statement t-shirt: American History: BUILT BY BLACK WOMEN. When you purchase this t-shirt you provide support for the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), a leading national advocate for Black women, and its Good Health Women’s Immunization Networks. NCNW/GoodHealth WINs will work to raise awareness about the benefits of immunization as a critical element of good health. NCNW’s primary focus in the first year of Good Health WINs will be listening to and activating NCNW member networks around COVID-19 and other immunizations.

NCNW will work to amplify the voices of Black women, who make 80% of family medical decisions, in state and local health policy networks. It will also build trustworthiness as a key strategy for addressing vaccine hesitancy and promote efforts to achieve health equity. NCNW will work with state and local immunization coalitions, program managers, retailers and other vaccine stakeholders to improve understanding and access by increasing diverse representation.

In announcing the WNBPA’s partnership with NCNW in this effort, WNBPA President Nneka Ogwumike described it as representing “a powerful extension of [the players’] work around the Black Lives Matter movement in connection with our efforts to combat the ongoing global health crisis.”

TODAY is Stacey Abrams Day! (We thought it was Jan 13, but clearly it is TODAY!)

Stacey Abrams organized AND mobilized AND worked tirelessly to educate and sign up voters in her state. Stacey Abrams worked intentionally to CONNECT THE DOTS of the everyday concerns of Georgians with the act of voting. And as Stacey herself has recognized, she was not alone! The village of activists, the additional members of #TeamDEMOCRACY that must be recognized and celebrated on this day include:
Nse Ufot -New Georgia Project
Deborah Scott -Georgia Stand Up
Helen Butler -Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda
LaTosha Brown -Black Voters Matter
Amber Bell -Southwest Georgia Project for Community Education
The #WinWithBlackWomen network
The Players of the ATL Dream + the Players of the WNBA
AND always, always the Hon John Lewis

CONGRATULATIONS President Biden and Vice President Harris!
CONGRATULATIONS Senator Warnock and Senator Ossof!

INSPIRING WORDS FOR THE DAY, PERHAPS THE YEAR: “Remember this in the darkest moments, when the work doesn’t seem worth it, and change seems just out of reach: out of our willingness to push through comes a tremendous power… Use it.” -S Abrams

HAPPY STACEY ABRAMS DAY!
