  • Why Should Black Women Care About Palestine? With Rev. CeCe Jones-Davis

    Why Should Black Women Care About Palestine? With Rev. CeCe Jones-Davis
    Oct 18 2025

    Episode Description:

    The end of Truth’s Table season nine is drawing to a close, but we could not end this season without discussing the genocide committed against Palestinians by the state of Israel. We invited Rev. CeCe Jones-Davis to the table to talk to us about her own commitment to this particular atrocity against Palestinians, why Black women should care, and what we can do to support our faraway neighbors in Palestine. We know that there are genocides and wars in Sudan, Congo, and many other places, and we hope to cover those in the future. As is our custom, we aim to bring on individuals who are uniquely qualified to address the topics on the table. So pull up a chair and have a seat at the table with us!


    Learn more about Rev. CeCe Jones-Davis:

    

    CeCe Jones-Davis is an award-winning faith leader, impact strategist, musician, and public theologian who works at the powerful intersection of faith, art, and social justice. With a heart rooted in ministry and a voice that echoes across grassroots movements and national stages, she devotes her life to pointing people toward the All-Powerful and the least powerful.

    For more than two decades, CeCe has mobilized communities, advised campaigns, and partnered with cultural institutions and global brands to advance equity, compassion, and systemic change. From fighting for HIV/AIDS interventions and menstrual justice to leading national movements against the death penalty, her work spans both street-level action and high-level advocacy in policy, media, and government. She served in the Obama Administration under U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Ron Kirk and played a pivotal role as the founder of the #JusticeforJulius campaign, which successfully halted the execution of Julius Jones in Oklahoma just hours before his scheduled death in 2021. Most recently, CeCe served as Special Advisor of Advocacy and Strategy to the White House for the #IStandWithRavi campaign, successfully advocating to the Biden Administration for a presidential pardon on behalf of beloved immigrant rights leader, Ravi Ragbir. These outcomes have only been achieved by a fraction of advocacy campaigns in U.S. history, and a testament to CeCe’s leadership and the power of grassroots faith-based organizing against the odds.

    An ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), CeCe is also a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. She holds degrees and certificates from Howard University, Yale Divinity School, the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, and Georgetown University, and was named an inaugural member of the Obama Foundation’s Leaders USA program.
