Black women are used to being their own heroes. And Brittney Griner’s terrible situation once again reinforces why.
While the GOP’s faux concern will doubtless disappear if and when Griner returns to America, the Biden administration’s apparent lack of urgency highlights how queer Black women are deprioritized bysides of the political aisle. Of course, negotiating the release of a prisoner from a foreign country, even one being held on bogus charges, is a tricky dance. It isn’t something that happens overnight, especially given the political tension between the United States and Russia.
In March, Black Feminist Future, a national organization “focused on the dynamic possibilities of galvanizing the social and political power of Black women, girls, and gender-expansive people toward iberation,” launched. The multipart campaign, which includes clear demands for the Biden administration , has a comprehensive media toolkit for those who want to express support for Griner but are unsure where to start.
