NESRI joined with Black Women’s Blueprint, DC Rape Crisis Center, and Marsha P. Johnson Center in sponsoring the March for Black Women in New York City, Washington, D.C., and several other cities. The marches called for a New Social Contract to address the multiple issues that disproportionately harm black women and girls’ lives, including sexual violence, policing, a broken immigration system and the epidemic of homicides against black transgender women.

You can see some highlights of the headlines generated by the March in Blavity, Mic, Paper Magazine, NewsOne, and in local coverage.
