Black Voters Matter is a 501(c)(4) dedicated to building power in marginalized Black communities through year-round civic engagement, authentic representation, and the fight for justice. We believe effective voting is more than casting a ballot; it is a way for communities to determine their own destiny. reminded us, “Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at it
s best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”
Our mission is guided by five core beliefs. We know that true civic engagement begins with respecting and strengthening local infrastructure. We believe Black Voters Matter not only on election day but every day of the year, supporting individuals and organizations striving for justice. We affirm that Black Voters Matter everywhere, including rural counties and small towns too often overlooked by politicians and the media. We are committed to using authentic messaging that speaks to our issues, connects with our hopes, and affirms our humanity. And we recognize that the leadership, talent, and commitment of Black women must not only be celebrated but also invested in so that it can flourish and multiply. We are dedicated to ensuring that Black voices are heard, valued, and empowered in every space where decisions are made.
