| 4/30/26 | Equal Time: Do Black women have solutions to what’s ailing American democracy? By Mary C. Curtis | When Black women show up – as election workers, activists, advocates, voters – they make a difference.

Atima Omara’s new book, “The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential to American Democracy (And what we can learn from them),” is both a history lesson and a blueprint for the future. In an almost two-decade career, Omara, founder of the award-winning Omara Strategy Group, has worked at the intersection of electoral politics and advocacy in the progressive movement.
