Power Rising co-conveners say the attacks on Black women leaders are an attempt at intimidation

Power Rising co-conveners Bishop Leah Daughtry and Minyon Moore said the attacks were an attempt to intimidate Black women out of the rooms where power is exercised, not political disagreement, and that the group stands against anyone who traffics in racism and misogyny.

“This is not political disagreement — it is an attempt to intimidate Black women out of the rooms where power is exercised. Power Rising stands in solidarity with every Black woman named and every one who wasn’t — and against anyone who traffics in racism and misogyny to silence Black women’s leadership.”
