The 2024 presidential election was marked by soaring highs and crushing lows. Black women, 91% of whom turned out for VP Harris, once again proved to be the most engaged, progressive, and resilient voting bloc.

In an election campaign where rampant sexism and racism was directed not only at Harris,

but at black women more broadly, the misogy noir we just witnessed is already being written

out of the analysis of what actually happened.

There seems to be a widening gap between what black women experienced and what the

pundit and political classes choose to talk about.

So join host Kimberly Crenshaw for a virtual under the blacklight conversation on December 3rd at 7 p.m. Eastern.

Black women advocates, activists, and analysts will offer their side of the story about the election

and highlight the risks to our democracy if we continue to erase black women

and their experiences. Register for free at Bitley slash Election 24 Road Ahead. That's Bitley

intersectionality to life by exploring the hidden dimensions of today's most pressing issues,

from Say Her Name and Me Too to the War on Civil rights and the global rise of fascism.

In Chicago, 68% of COVID-19 deaths are African-American. In Louisiana, it's 70%, though they're just

30% of the population in both places. These ongoing crises reflect vulnerabilities that are

historically structured and politically reinforced.

From the gaping disparities in infection and death by COVID to the horrific consequences of racialized policing and punishment,

we've seen how disproportionate black death, facilitated by structural racism, is accepted as a natural feature of the status quo.

The devastating impact of these combined pandemics in the health of black women, girls, and films was made tragically clear last December in the death of Dr. Susan Moore.
