United Women of Color (UWOC) is a left-of-center get-out-the-vote and organizing organization that seeks to mobilize ethnic-minority women and increase their influence in the government decision-making process. 1 2

UWOC supports the far-left Black Lives Matter movement, 3 the critical race theory-influenced concept of social justice, 4 left-of-center anti-gun organization Moms Demand Action, 5 and the left-wing concept of community policing as an alternative to traditional law enforcement approaches. 6

UWOC has received fiscal support from the controversial Southern Poverty Law Center. 7 In August 2023, UWOC called Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D-GA), U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith, and Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, Jr. (D-NY) “defenders of democracy” for their efforts to prosecute former President Donald Trump. 8

History and Leadership

United Women of Color (UWOC) was founded in 2018. 9 The organization was also granted tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service in 2018. 10

Angela Curry is the founder and executive director of UWOC. In October 2023, she was scheduled to speak at an event organized by the pro-abortion advocacy organization Yellowhammer Fund that calls for “Black Autonomy” in the American South. 11

Curry has claimed that North America has been protecting white supremacy since the 1600s 12 and that there has been “state sanctioned thievery” against African Americans in the United States. 13
