New census data shows that poverty stayed high last year—and increased for black women. Nearly 2 in 5 working-age women living in poverty had jobs. This is a policy choice. With Trump's devastating cuts to Medicaid & SNAP, things will only continue to get worse for working people. We deserve better.

And yet, for Black women and girls, one of the leading causes of death is murder by an intimate partner.

The systems used to dispossess, oppress, and control Black communities did not end with chattel slavery, convict leasing, and Jim Crow.
