    The Democratic presidential debates are in full swing, and while the DNC committed to having a woman moderate every debate there is still a major problem. In the last round of debates, there were zero Black women or women of color moderators—again.

    Moderators determine what questions are asked, which issues are centered, and which candidates get the most air time. Moderators are supposed to represent voters’ greatest interests and concerns, but how can they do that when they don’t represent a key group of American voters?

    We demanded and won a woman moderator at every debate, and we can win this fight too. ABC is hosting the next round of debates in September. Add your name to demand they include a Black woman at the table.
