As the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact the world, journalists — despite challenging conditions — are working 24/7 to keep citizens informed.

The Women’s Media Center stands in solidarity with the individuals and organizations fighting to end the systemic racism and police brutality that caused the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many others.

We are committed to building a country where equal rights, equal justice, and equal opportunity are the reality for all women and men.
