National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), founded in 1935 by Mary McLeod Bethune, is dedicated to leading, advocating for, and empowering women of African descent, their families and communities while connecting a network of over 2 million women and men.
A free society cannot survive if the act of bearing witness is treated as a crime. NCNW stands with Georgia Fort and Don Lemon in our commitment to maintaining an informed citizenry, which is essential for a dynamic democracy. (Photo Credits - IG of Georgia Fort and Don Lemon)
Tune in LIVE at 11:00 a.m. ET for the Demand Diversity Roundtable, featuring President & CEO Shavon Arline-Bradley. Participants will reflect on the past year, share critical insights, & chart the next phase of coordinated advocacy to defend equity, equal opportunity, and a multiracial democracy.
Proud to join @ncnwhq.bsky.social for this year’s #EdTechquity Summit. Black women make up just 2% of the tech workforce—but that’s changing. Together, we’re breaking barriers and building a future where innovation and opportunity lift everyone.

Yesterday, Supreme Court heard arguments regarding the Administration’s attempt to expand executive authority over the Federal Reserve —as illustrated with Dr. Lisa Cook. NCNW strongly urges the Supreme Court to uphold the constitutional balance of powers, preserve the independence of the Fed.
NCNW stands with NY Attorney General James, just as we did with Federal Reserve Board of Governors member Dr. Lisa Cook, Black women who are qualified, accomplished, & continue to make history. Click here to read our full statement: www.instagram.com/p/DPoinHzjXn...

Taylor Townsend advances and said, "I’m very strong. I’m very proud as a Black woman being out here representing myself and representing us and our culture. I make sure that I do everything that I can to be the best representation possible every time that I step on the court and even off the court.”
NCNW stands with Dr. Lisa Cook — and with every Black woman leader who refuses to be silenced. #purplepower #Blackwomenleadership #lisacook #ncnw #federalreserve
