Washington (CNN) Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Thursday scored an endorsement from a group of more than 100 black women activists, who praised the Democratic presidential candidate as a leader on implementing structural changes.

Black Womxn For released a lengthy statement and video "enthusiastically and wholeheartedly" backing Warren for president. The endorsement comes one day after Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley endorsed Warren, splitting from her progressive freshman allies.

"(Warren) is a leader with a track record of taking on the predatory policies and practices that harm our communities and implementing structural changes that give power back to working people," the statement reads.

"She is a partner with a deep understanding of how racism and gender discrimination don't just compound income inequality but are actually central to maintaining the status quo. She is a woman who is willing to learn, open to new ideas, and ready to be held accountable by us and our communities," the statement continues.

Warren tweeted: "Black trans and cis women, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary people are the backbone of our democracy and I don't take this endorsement lightly. I'm committed to fighting alongside you for the big, structural change our country needs."
