The launch of the Congressional Caucus on Black Women and Girls.

The Congressional Caucus on Black Women and Girls is a caucus of the United States Congress founded in 2016 to advance issues and legislation important to the welfare of women and girls of African descent.[1][2]

Founding

#SheWoke Committee

In response to the tragedy of Sandra Bland, the caucus was inspired and created by the #SheWoke Committee: Ifeoma Ike, Esq., Nakisha Lewis, Sharon Copper (sister of Sandra Bland), Tiffany Hightower, Shambulia Gadsden Sams, Sharisse "She-Salt" Stancil-Ashford, and Avis Jones-DeWeever, Ph.D. – seven leading black women activists who consistently advocate for the global equity of black women and girls.[2]
