In response to the harmful policies of the Trump administration, Black leaders initiated the State of the People livestream during the State of the Union address. This grassroots movement serves to amplify Black voices and foster systemic change, highlighted by the ongoing 10-city Power Tour led by activists like Angela Rye and Tamika Mallory. The tour, starting in Atlanta, focuses on the Southâhome to a majority of Black Americansâaiming to address significant issues like voter suppression and health care access through community engagement and advocacy efforts.
"This tour is a grassroots movement that is seeking to amplify Black voices and create an environment to demand systemic change."
"David notes that it was critical that the tour be largely focused in the South, where the majority of Black people live."
