Backbone is a digital consulting firm conceived by unbought and unbossed Black women.

OUR MISSION

We’re spearheading a revolution at the ballot box and beyond.

Founded in the midst of historic uprisings, a historic election and a historic pandemic that has pushed an unprecedented number of organizations to rely on digital as a means to market and organize, Backbone was created to help progressive leaders, campaigns and causes win where it matters most.

OUR VALUES

We believe true power is grassroots — from small-dollar donations to boots-on-the-ground community, relational and field organizing.
