Get • Vote NO.

There’s been a lot of misinformation surrounding tomorrow’s election, but the mission is still clear: vote NO on Amendments 1–4.

Amid the confusion around the delayed congressional election, don’t let it keep you home or distract you from what’s on the ballot. These amendments would have real impacts on our schools, state workers, and students.

Show up. Make it count. Make it clear.

Vote NO on Amendments 1–4.

DO NOT GET COMFORTABLE. DO NOT GROW WEARY. THIS WORK IS ONGOING. STAY WOKE!
Get • The Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais isn’t just about Congress, it reaches into state legislatures, school boards, city councils, public service commissions, and beyond. What we’re witnessing is a sweeping rollback of representation and freedom for Black communities, while also impacting Latino, Native American, and other marginalized groups as well.

People are rightfully angry and tired. But anger alone won’t change the outcome—action will. Pay attention, stay engaged, and be just as dedicated to taking action as you are to calling it out.

Feels like April flew by this year! We were busy doing the work for Black Maternal Health Week 2026! 👩🏿‍🍼🤰🏾

✨️Sunday, April 12: Frankie Robertson, our Founder & President, spoke at the annual Honor Her Life Bubble Release hosted by the Mu Sigma chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. ()

✨️Wednesday, April 15: In collaboration with Mama+ (), we hosted our 5th annual Black Maternal Health Advocacy Day, featuring an informative virtual town hall on Zoom and an inspiring press conference at the Capitol. Both events brought together prominent leaders and voices to educate and inform our community about the current state of Black maternal health.

✨️Thursday, April 16: Frankie joined 10,000 Women LA () for their Wisdom, Wine, and Women program to discuss Black Maternal Health during their Legislative Insider series.

Each year, Black Maternal Health Week offers a chance to renew our commitment to advocating for equitable healthcare access for Black women, birthing people, families, and the broader community.

At The Amandla Group, we proudly stand in alignment with Black Mamas Matter Alliance in support of this vital movement. We know that Black Mamas deserve care, respect, and unwavering support—and real change happens when we come together. ✊🏾

The work continues…

Get • Today’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais is a setback—but it does not change the truth: our democracy works best when every voice is heard and every community is fairly represented.

For too long, Black voters in Louisiana have faced barriers to equal representation. We’ve fought for fair maps before, and we will continue to fight now.

This moment is bigger than a single map. It’s about protecting the promise that every vote carries equal weight—and that representation is a right, not a privilege.
We’re not backing down. We’re organizing, we’re mobilizing, and we’re standing firm in the fight for voting rights.

Stay engaged. Stay informed. Stay in the fight.

A reminder.

Black women have been conditioned to shrink, soften the truth, dim brilliance, to make ourselves smaller so others can feel comfortable.

No more.

Take up space in policy rooms, healthcare spaces, boardrooms, classrooms, and even your own living rooms.

Your voice is not disruptive, threatening or excessive. You are not “too much.”

You are the standard.
And this world adjusts accordingly.💜

Please take care of each other.

There is too much grief in the air right now, and it feels like it is just sitting with us. We are still trying to process the violence we spoke about just days ago, and now we are here again. This time, children’s lives were taken. That is not something you can soften or explain away. It is devastating in a way that reaches beyond words and settles deep in the heart.

At Black Women’s Health Imperative, we talk about health as something bigger than what happens in a doctor’s office. It is about whether you feel safe in your own home. It is about whether your children can grow up and simply be. It is about being able to move through the world without carrying fear in your body. When violence shows up like this, it shakes all of that.

Moments like this change how people sleep at night. They change the way communities gather and grieve and try to make sense of something that does not make sense.

So today we are not rushing past it. We are not pretending it is just another headline. We are sitting with the weight of it and holding space for the families and communities who are carrying more than anyone should have to carry.

We are not OK.

And if you or someone you love is living with violence, we want you to know there are places that understand and are ready to support you:

Get • Louisiana residents living near industrial areas are at a greater risk of experiencing learning disabilities, anemia miscarriage and many other health conditions according to a new research study based on data from Medicaid claims made in the state.

The Collaborative Data Analysis (CoDA) research team — which included researchers from Dillard University, Virginia Tech and the University of California San Francisco — looked into the negative health impacts of residential exposure to industrial pollution using data from Louisiana Medicaid claims from 2017 to 2019. The results of the report were presented at Dillard on Tuesday (April 14).

The study identified a wide range of potential health risks tied to industrial pollution. Researchers found that children living in zip codes with high rates of pollution had an elevated risk of nutritional anemia, learning disabilities, dermatitis and eczema and that young girls have an elevated risk of early puberty.

For non-smoking adult women, there was a higher risk of uterine fibroids and breast cancer. Among non-smoking adults who have been pregnant, the risk of complications such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy and preeclampsia was also elevated. For adults overall, the risk of nutritional and other types of anemia was found to be higher in industrial areas.
