BWR Virtual Media Briefing: Part II - Power of the Sister Vote Poll Results

Description

On the 61st Anniversary of the passage of the 1965 V oting Rights Act,
The National Coalition on Black Civic Participation's Black Women's
Roundtable (BWR) in partnership with The Root, will host a virtual media
briefing to release Part II of its landmark 10th Annual Power of the
Sister Vote Poll, providing an in-depth look at Black women's political
attitudes, voter engagement, and priorities heading into the 2026 midterm
elections, afterwhich there will be a Sister Can We Talk Panel which will
examine more deeply the results.

Building on the economic findings released on Black Women's Equal Pay
Day, this second installment explores how Black women view the current
political landscape, confidence in government and elected leaders,
motivation to vote, and the issues that will shape their decisions at the
ballot box.

Why: As the nation approaches one of the most consequential midterm elections
in recent history, Black women remain one of the country's most
influential voting blocs. The latest findings reveal significant shifts in
political engagement and party identification since 2024 while examining
whether Black women remain motivated to vote despite growing political
fatigue, economic uncertainty, and continued attacks on voting rights and
racial equity.

The 2026 BWR Power of the Sister Vote Poll is powered by Oxfam
America and SEIU.
