Saving Democracy One Voter at a Time
You and the voters you mobilize are particularly crucial to making Black voices heard at the ballot box. With affordable housing, inflation, and racism at the top of minds of voters, too much is at stake. Getting voters to the polls is important now more than ever.

The fundamental right to vote continues to be under attack, creating a threat to democracy as we know it. Efforts to make it harder for racial minorities to participate in the political process are proliferating across the country - and we're fighting those efforts in court.
From now until election season, we need your help to turnout as many voters as possible. Sign up to power the vote and contact voters within your community.
