"As a collective that positions itself as advocates for centering the work and experiences of womxn of color, we feel that it is crucial to be clear about the spectrum that experience entails, always, but especially in times like these, where there is and must be a great emphasis on specificity around the experiences of Black people, and especially Black queer, trans, and nonbinary folks & Black womxn."
"Black womxn are often at the forefront of these movements and we honor this commitment to radical justice for all by amplifying their voices and centering an ethos of community reciprocity, intersectional solidarity, and Black feminist ideologies."
Since the compilation was released, CHROMA has shared that a whopping $15,000 USD has been raised. Check it out above and head HERE to purchase.
