Black Women’s Health and the 2024 Election: A Call to Action
As we approach the 2024 election, the stakes couldn't be higher. This year has already been marked by harmful federal and state policies and Supreme Court decisions that affect our health, autonomy, safety, and even the foundations of our democracy. The challenges we face as a community—especially the recent attacks on reproductive freedoms—underscore the need for transformative leadership. The limitations placed on abortion access, family planning services like in vitro fertilization (IVF), maternal care, rural healthcare and more have disproportionately harmed Black women, worsening existing health disparities. We must vote like our lives depend on it—because they do.
To support our community during this crucial election season, we are proud to present the Black Women Vote 2024 Health Policy Voters Guide.
