Black Women’s Health Imperative’s 2022 Midterm Elections Voter Education & Issues Guide

September 2022

To our valued friends & supporters,

For many Black women, 2022 has been one of the most soul-challenging years in recent history . Each day has brought about new hindrances to the sustainability and progression of our community A seemingly endless pandemic and the shocking reversal of federal protections of our right to access safe abortions have occurred alongside historically high gas prices, food insecurities due to supply chain issues, increasingly high interest rates, rising inflation rates, poor water infrastructure due to zoning and access to clean water funding, and ever-present economic uncertainties All of which seem to target our most vulnerable in the greatest capacity While the physical, mental, emotional, and economic toll is immense—and all too familiar—this November, we can make our voices heard at the polls as we vote in those who are invested in the survival of our communities, and vote out those who seem to be working against us

As our President & CEO, Linda Goler Blount, MPH, has said before, “Black women have navigated oppression in America for centuries Our humanity, our safety, and our rights are devalued in the workplace, doctor’s offices, classrooms, and our own neighborhoods .” Racially motivated violence, as seen in Buffalo, New York; Southern California; and more recently against the students and teachers at Robb Elementary School in Texas have heartbreakingly proved that there is an urgent need for change, in and across every system

At the Black Women’s Health Imperative (BWHI), our stated mission is to lead the effort to solve the most pressing health issues that affect Black women and girls in the U .S . Through research and evidence-based strategies, we deliver bold new programs and advocate for health-promoting policies within the workplace In line with that mission, and with the 2022 midterms

approaching, BWHI is releasing: They Can’t Break Our Souls! Black Women’s Health Imperative’s 2022 Midterm Elections Voter Education & Issues Guide

This guide will provide information on policymakers who are up for national and state elections in your respective areas This information will also coincide with those who represent the issues and policy pillars we, at BWHI, have championed over our nearly 40 years of existence

We are also re-releasing an update of our Black Women Vote: National Health Policy Agenda, which aims to provide Black women with a blueprint for change, and deliver a call to action for policymakers, practitioners, academics, and community leaders . You can download a copy here: Black Women Vote: The 2020-2021 National Health Policy Agenda

This election will be one like no other and will send a clear message about the future of our country Just this month, Senate Republicans introduced a national bill to ban all late-term abortions usually done in emergency rooms to save the life of the mother These types of legislative assaults on our rights to live healthy and productive rights will be on the ballot across the country this midterm season

Black women must rise up and take the lead in setting the country’s direction, as we have historically done so many times before With our very bodily autonomy at the center of this current political climate, it is time to do what needs to be done It is our moment to be the heroes of our own story

Join us in achieving our vision for all Black women to enjoy optimal health in a society that promotes health equity and social justice by registering, representing, and exercising your right to vote

Yours can be the one that makes all the difference .

Why It Matters

Your Vote Matters More Than Ever

In collaboration with the non-profit organization When We All Vote, BWHI has launched a voter registration drive campaign in advance of the 2022 Midterm Elections taking place on November 8th When We All Vote is a leading national, nonpartisan initiative on a mission to change the culture around voting and to increase participation in each and every election by helping to close the race and age gap Endorsed by former First Lady Michelle Obama, When We All Vote brings together individuals, institutions, brands, and organizations to register new voters across the country and advance civic education for voters of every age to build an informed and engaged electorate for today and generations to come .

In our partnership, we have joined together and to raise awareness by having a dedicated voter registration portal. We invite you all to check your registration status

The following states have issues on the ballot regarding our reproductive rights:

California Nov. 8 Proposition 1

Kentucky Nov. 8 Amendment 2

Michigan Nov. 8 Initiative

Montana Nov. 8 LR-131

Amend the California Constitution to provide that the state cannot “deny or interfere with an individual’s reproductive freedom in their most intimate decisions,” including decisions to have an abortion or to choose or refuse contraceptives

Amend the Kentucky Constitution to state that nothing in the state constitution creates a right to abortion or requires government funding of abortions

Amend the Michigan Constitution to provide a state constitutional right to reproductive freedom, defined to include abortion, contraception, and other matters related to pregnancy

Provide in state law that infants born alive at any stage of development are legal persons

Require medical care to be provided to infants born alive after an induced labor, Cesarean section, attempted abortion, or other method

Vermont Nov. 8 Amendment

In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda 601 13th Street, NW Suite 650 North Washington, DC 20005 IOV2204 In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda, is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization to lift up the voices of Black women on policy issues. As we face an attack on our basic human right to bodily autonomy and abortion by a conservative, activist Supreme Court, we implore Black women’s organizations and Black individuals to join In Our Own Voices to make it clear: we refuse to let you take away reproductive rights. We are asking all Reproductive Justice voters like you to pledge to do everything in our power to ensure all Black women and birthing people have the freedom, resources, and power they need to assert agency over their own bodies and ensure that their families can thrive. We know that we win the battle for civil rights when we listen to and trust Black women. Let’s join together now to protect our rights.
