The 4th Annual Black Policy Day is coming back to the Capitol on March 10, 2025!

A flyer inviting folks to "Save the Date" for the 4th Annual Black Policy Day, which will be March 10, 2025. There is a link to www.bvii.com

Black Policy Day was established in 2022 by Crystal Good (Black By God), Katonya Hart (Partnerships for the Arts & Education), and Dr. Shanequa Smith (WV Black Voter Impact Initiative) who shared a vision of creating space for historically oppressed and ignored groups to amplify their stories and participate in the policymaking process.

On Black Policy Day, we welcome all to visit the Capitol to engage with our state leaders, discuss the issues that are most impacting Black and minority communities, and learn how to take action to make impacts in our communities.

Followed by information about current opportunities and resources. The afternoon will include a youth-centered lunch event with accompanying activities. Childcare is available all day.

Throughout the day, there will be opportunities to engage in meetings with lawmakers, space for vendors and tabling opportunities, youth activities, and much more.

Our first three events were highly impactful! Read the 2022 event highlights reported by Black by God here, and watch a short clip covering our 2023 event here! Check out our website blackpolicydaywv.org for more information.
