A Vote for Democracy
Democracy is under attack. Let's save it.
This election season, we hold the most powerful tool to make democracy work for Black Americans: our vote. The issues that affect our community will make or break how we continue to thrive in this country. Together, let's amplify the voice of Black America to make sure solutions to our most pressing issues are equitable by voting.
With your help, we can save America's democracy.

Your State's Voter Guides
People often don't vote because they don't know where candidates stand and are confused about how to find out.
From analyzing key issues that impact your community to learning about your state's voter deadlines, our voter guides help you decide how to vote and who should represent you in elected offices.

The Fight Against Project 2025
Project 2025 is a policy proposal that seeks to undermine our progress, dismantle democracy, and take us back to a time when we did not have a vote or a voice. The overarching goal of the project is to "gut the administrative state from within," and is incredibly harmful to the Black community.
