Power Your Vote

#Vote2022

ELECTION DAY: NOVEMBER 8, 2022

This year, we have an incredible opportunity to build Black political power at every level of the ballot. Your vote is incredibly important, and here's why: Black voters can…

Elect candidates who support policies that improve Black lives;
Elect US Senate and Congress members that pass laws that impact the right to vote and police accountability.
Elect your next Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, and others who make decisions on distributing federal funds and appointing state judges.
Elect legislators at the county, city, and municipal levels that make decisions from regular trash pickups and broken street lights to what crimes are prosecuted and the quality of education children in your community receive. You can elect your next mayor, city/county council member, sheriff, district attorney, or school board member. Don't sit these out!

PROTECTING OUR VOTING RIGHTS

More than a century after the right to vote was declared fundamental, that right is under attack. Efforts to make it harder for racial minorities to participate in the political process are proliferating across the country state by state- and we're fighting those efforts in court.
