The Power for Change Starts at the Ballot!

Mississippi Black Women’s Roundtable works tirelessly to increase the civic engagement of women and girls, equipping them to take their seats at the tables where policies impacting their lives are made. In a state where so few policy decisions are made in the best interest of women–especially Black women–MS BWR knows the importance of exercising the right to vote. Real change starts with you at the ballot box.

Our programs are open to all individuals regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity, or socioeconomic status.

About POTSV:

MSBWR advances the civic engagement of Black Women as voters in order to impact change in our communities and promote concrete policy changes that are responsive to our needs. 

Black women in Mississippi can drive change and lay out a pathway to a better Mississippi. The MSBWR Power of the Sister Vote Project is our part of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation’s (NCBCP) effort to ensure that “the strong voices of Black women are listened to, amplified, and heeded regarding the issues of most importance to us.” 

We do so by:

  • Relying on data and very targeted efforts, we will increase the engagement of thousands of infrequent Black women voters.
  • Conducting regional policy summits to ensure women and girls are educated on the policies that impact their lives and are equipped to respond to and become decision-makers in their local communities across the state.
  • Identifying, educating, and preparing women of color to run in districts that continue to divest resources from its most vulnerable communities.
