Right now in Delaware, too many Black mothers are locked up simply because they can’t pay bail. In New Castle County alone, Black women are disproportionately held pretrial - tearing families apart and leaving children without their moms.

From April 18th - May 17th, the Black Mamas Bail Fund is raising money to bring these mothers home. Every dollar goes straight to bail, fights unfair systems, and supports mothers who are too often ignored.

Every contribution brings a mother back to her children and helps her family stay whole.

You can help by giving, sharing, or volunteering!

This April marks 25 years of S*xual Assault Awareness Month.

Black women face some of the highest rates of sexual violence in this country. More than 40% of us experience physical or sexual violence in our lifetime. Black girls are targeted, overlooked, and oversexualized, and the systems around us fail to protect us.

In Delaware, 1 in 4 women will experience sexual violence. Many never report because the system is stacked against us.

Survivors are ignored, families lack support, and communities are told to “just cope.” That is not protection. That is not justice.

You deserve safety. You deserve support. You deserve to be heard.

This month - and every month - we fight. We teach consent. We believe survivors. We hold abusers accountable. We demand systems that protect Black women and girls.

April is STI Awareness Month - and our health matters.

In the U.S., there are about 20 million new STI cases each year, and young people (15–24) make up nearly half, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Here in Delaware, rates of syphilis and gonorrhea are rising, especially in Black communities.

Talk. Test. Treat.
Get tested, know your status, and take care of your body.
