We are a national organization dedicated to expanding Black voter engagement and increasing progressive power. #BlackVotersMatter #WeFightBack ✊🏾
Millions of Americans vote by mail. A federal court just blocked new Trump administration restrictions that could have created delays and barriers for mail-in ballots ahead of the 2026 midterms. The administration is asking the Supreme Court to step in.
Join our bi-monthly book club as we explore media, reflect, and learn together. This month, we're watching and discussing BVM's documentary Love, Joy, and Power: Tools for Liberation, a conversation about organizing, collective power, and the work it takes to create change. 👉🏿 bit.ly/bvm_bookclub
Ohio already requires photo ID to vote. The question in 2026 isn't whether Ohio should have voter ID—it's whether those rules should be locked into the state constitution, making them much harder to change in the future. Need ID help? 📞 866-ID-2-VOTE
People are hurting right now. People are dying right now. We don’t have time to spend all our energy fighting with people who aren’t in the work. We have people in our communities who need us to show up, organize, and help. We gotta get on one accord and move forward. ✊🏾

Today is National Poll Worker Recruitment Day. Black communities have fought for generations to make the right to vote real. Today, protecting that right can also mean showing up where voting happens. Become a poll worker. Help your neighbors. Build power. https://www.powerthepolls.org/
Black communities can vote, organize, and win elections — and still have their political power limited. Why? Because maps, courts, and election systems shape what happens after the vote. That’s why the fight for democracy is also a fight over representation itself.
Today is Election Day in Alabama and Wisconsin. This special primary will determine who represents the newly redrawn congressional and state senate districts. Make a voter plan 👉🏿 blackvotersmatterfund.org/vote #alabama #electionday
Black Voters Matter is part of a federal lawsuit fighting efforts that could restrict vote-by-mail and make it harder for people to vote. Vote-by-mail is how millions of people cast their ballots. Support us here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/devo-2026
As federal voting protections weaken, State Voting Rights Acts are one of the strongest ways states can protect Black voting power, prevent voter discrimination, and expand access to the ballot. Learn more: https://www.naacpldf.org/state-voting-rights-acts/toolkit/
Today we mark the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. The work that started in Selma continues in all of us. Earlier this year at the Bridge Crossing Jubilee in Selma, we asked one simple question: "What brought you here today?" #VotingRightsAct #Selma
Every nation is built on choices. Who holds power. Who gets heard. Who gets to thrive. At We Are the Architects during Essence Fest, community members shared their visions for what that future could look like. What would your new nation look like?
Virginia is restoring voting rights for people with felony convictions, but this fight is bigger than one state. For generations, felony disenfranchisement has impacted who gets a voice in our democracy, especially in Black communities. Voting rights are about more than Election Day.
Black August is about remembering how Black movements were targeted and why that history still matters. COINTELPRO was not just surveillance. It was infiltration, misinformation, and disruption meant to break Black liberation movements from the inside. Those tactics didn’t disappear. They evolved.
Michigan! You have a very important election today Maps redrawn. Voices targeted. Rights on the line. Who makes it onto the November ballot gets decided right now. Show up for your community. Visit blackvotersmatterfund.org/vote for everything you need.

What does a new nation look like? A nation where every vote matters, communities have power, and democracy works for everyone. We are the architects of the America still to come. What’s in your new nation?
They don’t fear people who only vote. They fear people who organize. Voting matters, but voting alone has never been the full story of how communities create change.
Black Voters Matter is joining a powerful conversation on voting rights, Black political power, and the future of democracy. Because our communities deserve a voice in shaping what's next. RSVP 👉🏿: bit.ly/bvmdoc
James Clyburn has political power. That’s undeniable. But the idea that Black voters are simply following one person’s orders misunderstands Black political power. Black voters organize. Debate. Strategize. And make decisions for themselves.
Black political power was never built by waiting for permission. It was built by organizing, challenging institutions, and making demands. Elections matter. But movements are what create lasting change. #BlackVoters #Elections #Voting
A lot of people talk about “saving democracy.” The real question is: who is building the power to defend it? Democracy survives when people organize.
The biggest political battles are not just won on Election Day. They are won years before through organizing, leadership development, and building a base of people who are ready to fight for their communities. The question is simple: who is building power, and who is not?
As AI grows, we must ensure no community becomes a sacrifice zone. Clean water and healthy neighborhoods should be a right for everyone. #QuietOnTheCreek #DataCenters #AI #WaterCrisis
As we approach Black August, remember: food deserts and healthcare deserts are not accidents. They are the result of policy decisions, disinvestment, and systemic inequality. Healthcare justice is part of the fight for Black liberation and survival. Join the fight: https://bit.ly/4a5of9L
Democracy is not something we simply participate in. It is something we help build. Every person has influence, and every person has a role in shaping the future.
Will you rally for change? 💪 The OneNation, Overcharged Virtual Rally is on July 29! Join celebrity guests, movement leaders, and people speaking up for a healthcare system that works for ALL of us. Invite your family and friends 🔗: https://bit.ly/3RU5Erv
The U.S. can mobilize billions overnight for war. $37.5 billion spent. Another $67 billion requested. But when children are hungry, families are struggling, and communities need support, suddenly we’re told to debate what we can afford. We have to be honest about our priorities.
Today is the last day to register or update your voter registration in Alabama. Alabama voters will cast ballots in newly drawn congressional and state senate districts, and these elections will shape representation for years to come. Check your registration 👉🏿 blackvotersmatterfund.org/vote
If every step forward is followed by a rollback, then the problem isn’t just politics. It’s structure. We don’t just need new policies. We need systems that can’t keep reversing hard-won progress. What would it take to change the mechanisms of power so liberation isn’t temporary?
