Fighting for Equal Representation
Throughout 2022, The Collective PAC will provide pertinent updates every month on our work to support Black candidates running nationwide, as well as results of key research projects and groundbreaking initiatives we’ll be undertaking as we work to increase Black political engagement, representation and power across all levels of government.
Roe V. Wade Overturned
The Collective PAC joined millions of Americans in condemning the decision of the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“The Collective PAC is outraged by the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Since 1973, this country has recognized a woman’s constitutional right to abortions, and since then, countless lives have been saved due to women having access to safe abortions. This decision will not only have major repercussions for women’s healthcare and the quality of life for families across the country, but will also lay the groundwork for untold tragedies as women will be forced to make life-threatening decisions in order to do what they feel is best for their bodies, personal medical decisions, and life situations.”
