Black Feminist Future is a community initiative formed by members of the African American feminist community, with the aim of amplifying the power of Black women and girls in community organizing and online engagement. The group was formed in reaction to the aftermath of a police shooting at Ferguson, Missouri in 2014.
Initiatives
In the aftermath of the shooting of Korryn Gaines, Black Feminist Future urged people across the country to build altars to honor black women.
In 2016, the group launched an initiative named "Freedom Dreams 2016". The initiative includes making "visioning saloons" to build vision and movement that centers the African-American feminist lives. The aim is to effect politics and revising the laws which are believed to incorporate racial discrimination.
People
Jessica Byrd, founder of Three Point Strategies, a firm dedicated to recruiting more people of color to run for public office, is a board member of Black Feminist Future.
