19th Events

Power to the Polls: Black Women and the 2024 Election

October 17, 2024 at 11 a.m. ET

Black women are consistently active voters, and this year their collective voice has the potential to be a major force in state and national elections. What are the issues motivating this group to get to the polls in November? The 19th is partnering with Spelman College’s School of Social Justice for a free event on voter engagement and the issues that the new electorate cares about, from the economy to climate justice and LGBTQ+ advocacy. 

On October 17, 2024 at 11 a.m. ET, in Atlanta, GA, The 19th’s editor-at-large, Errin Haines, will lead a conversation with young, Black women — including a student leader from Spelman — on the power of their vote and what’s at stake in this election.
