NBJC Calls For Nominations for the

2017-18 Cohort of 100 Black LGBTQ/SGL Emerging Leaders to Watch (#100toWatch)!

December 28, 2016

The National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC), the nation's leading civil rights organization dedicated to the empowerment of Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people, is honored to launch the nomination process for the 2017-18 cohort of the 100 Black LGBTQ/SGL Emerging Leaders to Watch (100toWatch). One key pillar to the Emerging Leaders Initiative is the 100 Black LGBTQ/SGL Emerging Leaders to Watch visibility campaign. This group of inspiring leaders will represent a consortium of standout leaders that are ripe with potential and/or deserve a greater platform of exposure.

 

If you know someone who should apply to be a 2017-18 #100toWatch Cohort Member, please send them the

application to complete.

The 100 Black LGBTQ/SGL Emerging Leaders to Watch campaign is a component of the NBJC's Black LGBTQ/SGL Emerging Leaders Initiative. This initiative provides a platform for young rising stars (ages 18-30) to elevate and address the concerns of Black LGBTQ/SGL young adults, share best practices, and have a seat at the table. #100toWatch cohort members will be mentored by seasoned advocates and elders, and be supported while leading! The Emerging Leader perspective is critical to shaping policies for the future. Their active involvement is essential to help grow the leadership pipeline necessary to sustain a vibrant and impactful LGBTQ/SGL equality movement rooted in racial justice. NBJC's Emerging Leaders are exposed to opportunities such as educating key policy makers and influencers on Black LGBTQ/SGL priority issues, and learning the fundamentals of how our democracy works when you OWN YOUR POWER!
