The Congressional Caucus on Black Women and Girls

In 2016, the Congressional Caucus on Black Women and Girls was founded to ensure that issues important to the wellness of Black women and girls were prioritized. The caucus was inspired by the #SheWoke Committee, which organized for the protection of Black women in the wake of the murder of Sandra Bland. The co-chairs of the caucus are Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D–NJ 12th District), Rep. Robin Kelly (D–IL 2nd District), and Rep. Yvette Clarke (D–NY 9th District).
