Glynda C. Carr and Kimberly Peeler-Allen are cofounders of Higher Heights for America, a New York–based national organization that works to build political power for Black women.
On Monday, September 10, in the nation’s capital, Higher Heights and the Brookings Institution—a nonprofit policy think tank—unveiled a major new report: Claiming Seats at the Table: Black Women’s Electoral Strength in an era of Fractured Politics.
The event featured a panel including Baltimore mayor Catherine E. Pugh, Virginia delegate Marcia S. Price and Running Start cochair Tasha Cole, as well as an analysis from report author Andre M. Perry, Ph.D., a fellow at Brookings.
ESSENCE caught up with Carr to glean insight on the report and what implications it may have for Black women voters before November’s midterm elections and beyond. This interview has been edited for clarity and space.
