Summary
After Donald Trump’s 2024 victory, many politically engaged Black women are reassessing their role as key organizers in U.S. democracy.

Historically at the forefront of social change, some are now prioritizing rest and mental health, shifting away from the “backbone” role in movements.
While some fear this withdrawal could leave gaps in advocacy, others argue it’s time for other groups to step up, as Black women grapple with the nation’s lack of solidarity with their concerns.

Yes, abandoning minorities is definitely what I suggested, good going, top-tier literacy. /s
