The White House The US government The US Senate
Divestment is a movement created for the betterment of  biologicalblack women, especially Black-American women. This movement is about elevating our lives as Black /Black American women. Our goal is to increase of generational wealth, reduce our health risks, decrease our rate of poverty, decrease our rate of out of wedlock Birthrates, lower our HIV/STD rate, and much more. This movement was created to advance the state of black women/Black American women in the United States of America. With our hard work, dedication, & commitment we will work together for the advancement of the Black women/ Black American women's community. 

This petition is about divested  Biological Black women/ Black American women becoming their own category. We don't want to be lumped into statistics related to the the collective of the Black Community/Black-American community. When it comes to statistics about education,health, wealth, poverty, marriage, etc we would like to be represented separately as individuals. We are changing our lives while leaving communites, cultures, & people that don't benefit us , therefore, we would like to categorize as our own separate group.

This movement means so much to us divested black women/Black Anerican women. We're working to live our best lives while being productive American citizens, contributing to our country and making our country look good.
