Higher Heights leader Glynda Carr condemns racist and misogynistic attacks on Black women lawmakers

Higher Heights for America president and CEO Glynda Carr said Black women who have earned voters' trust should be able to serve and pursue office without racist degradation, and described the attacks as a deliberate weaponization of racism and misogyny rather than a political debate.

“What we witnessed was not a political debate. It was the deliberate weaponization of racism and misogyny against Black women who have earned the trust of voters and the right to lead. Black women should be able to serve, govern, dissent, and pursue public office without being subjected to racist degradation designed to diminish our humanity and silence our voices.”
